Summer Day Camp – 2008 Special Events

Campers enjoy a variety of special events throughout the camp season such as theme weeks, special days like Wacky Wednesday, or a trip to Sand Beach. In any given week, some of the following sorts of activities might occur:

Friday Performances – Campers in the Performing Arts program may be given the opportunity to showcase their hard work from the earlier days of the week in a camp-wide final Friday Performance, open to the public.

Wacky Wednesdays! – Every Wednesday will feature special activities in the mornings that campers will be signing up for earlier in the week. These activities will break up the routine and provide an opportunity for campers to experience something new and different each week. Wednesday afternoons will be reserved for all camp "theme activities" such as our "Pirates Day" last year or our Family Fun days, when parents and siblings are invited to join us for the day. The all camp activities are designed to bring the camp community together and give our staff and campers a chance to let their imaginations run wild!

Visit to Sand Beach – This is our way of appreciating summer in Maine, beyond the fresh waters of Echo Lake. What is summer on an island without a trip to the ocean to really get refreshed? Campers have a great time cooling themselves after playing a little football or volleyball on the beach, busy themselves with building a sand sculpture or burying their buddies’ in the sand, or just getting a load of the hot summer sun. It’s a great hiatus from Camp, towards the end of the summer, for both campers and counselors to get refreshed in energy to make it to the closing of camp.

Family Fun Days – On two days during the summer we open camp to the entire community. Invite your family and friends to enjoy the experience of camp for the entire day or on a drop-in basis. Everyone is welcome to participate in camp activities and to partake in a free cookout lunch. Please note that all children not enrolled in camp’s current session must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

2008 Family Fun Days are July 23 and August 13.
