This program takes place on Chewonki's 400-acre peninsula in mid-coast Maine. Campers will live at shore-side campsites, sleep in 4-person tents on wooden platforms and cooking over open fires. Each day campers will be involved in a morning and afternoon activity with plenty of time for games, swimming and relaxing. Chewonki's most popular activities include: the barn climb, sea-kayaking, canoeing, map and compass, trips to Reid State Park, visits to our farm, and evening live-animal programs. Our camp is designed to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere with a healthy spirit of fun and cooperation exists. As a member of the group, each camper shares in the responsibilities of wood gathering and splitting, cooking and clean-up, and the setting up and taking down of tents. Although most of our activities and meals take place outdoors, we also offer cozy indoor space in case of inclement weather.
