Our camp is located on beautiful Thompson Lake in Poland, Maine. Our facilities allow for campers to experience the outdoors, with 400 acres of outdoor beauty, full of hiking trails, playing fields, camp sites, a mile of waterfront on a clean, crystal clear lake, while still having on-site medical care at our new Health Center and wholesome meals served daily in our extraordinary Dining Hall. All meals are included, and one of our meal sponsors for our overnight camp program is the USDA's School Food Services. We can give the experienced camper a new adventure by coming to our camp for a full session or help to ease a novice into the camping world through our 5 day camp program. Daily camp activities include sports, swimming, canoeing, sailing, ropes course, crafts, hiking, environmental workshops, leadership courses, special events, camping and more!

Program activities are age appropriate, with most activities divided by ages 8-10, 11-13, and our Teen Leaders, ages 14-17. The Teen Leadership Program offers both recreational and educational opportunities, as well as introduces participants to leadership development, community projects, career workshops, healthy recreation choices, and employment training.

Teen Leadership Application Process and Stipend Program:

Please note that the application for the Teen Leadership Program includes the Camper Application, as well as special forms for Teen Leaders. Applicants must also complete an essay (essay topic is noted in application packet), as well as complete TWO letters of recommendation, using either the sample form included in the application packet or any other standard recommendation letter or form. A phone interview will be set up to give the teen a great life experience in preparing for the future, as well as give staff insight into the best program to place the applicant.

Stipend program: Teens who are approved for this program will be placed in one of the following categories, based on their experience, application, recommendations, and interview. Stipends are paid to teens who complete the full session; if they are asked to leave the program, they will not receive a stipend. Stipends will be mailed in their name to their home address the week following their session.
