Summer Camps 2019 by Bangor Daily News

MAINE’S GUIDE TO SUMMER CAMPS 2019 • Bangor Daily News Special Advertising Section • April 5, 2019

Summe r camp options i n Ma i n e abou n d Day camp Summer camp is a beloved tradition in many Maine families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending their summers at summer camp, where they made lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting marshmallows and competing in three-legged sack races. Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will soon discover there are various types of summer camps in the state, each offering youngsters something different. The following are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camper for their kids—many of them right in this guide.

Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions. Many day camps are co-ed, and counselors typically live within the community.

Faith-based camp Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs. Some faith-based camps may focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily camp activities, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp activities.

Sports camps Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athletic talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current and/or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.

Family camps Family camps are opportunities for the whole family to enjoy the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor their activities around tasks families can complete together, with counselors providing assistance when it’s needed. Family camps may be faith-based or secular, and families typically stay overnight, sleeping in facilities on the campsites or in lodging away from home.

Special needs camps Parents of children with special needs can still send their kids to summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physically disabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving their special needs children at camp. Facilities at special needs camps are often built to accommodate the specific needs of campers.

U n plug a n d ti e i n with Aca dia Mou nta i n G u i des COURTESY OF ACADIA MOUNTAIN GUIDES

Acadia Mountain Guides Summer Youth Camps offer the opportunity to “unplug” from the buzz of technology and focus on human-powered outdoor experiences that encourage interaction with nature and each other. Students experience a variety of action-packed outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and challenge courses. Nestled into the activities are skill sessions on first aid, navigation, plants and animals, geology, knot tying, outdoor cooking and camping. Summer camp is an opportunity to connect with others through face-to-face experiences. Beyond trying healthy new activities and developing outdoor skills, students develop new friendships, learn the value of trust and responsibility, and experience the joy of outdoor sports. AMG offers several camps for different age groups and interests. Paddle the East Branch of the Penobscot, sea kayak coastal waters, raft the Kennebec, hike Katahdin, rock climb on sea cliffs. These are but some of the activities in our Multi-Sport Adventure camps for 13-18 year olds. You can combine multiple weeks for a summer of adventure with fun, energetic guides leading the way.

AMG offers a series of four rock climbing-specific camps that teach everything from introductory top rope rock climbing to multi-pitch climbing on some of New England’s classic cliffs. For more advanced climbers, AMG offers trips to Quebec to experience international climbing. The Rock Start and Explorer programs are tailored to 9–12 year olds and are available as a four-day overnight or day camp. Students sample different outdoor activities and learn outdoor skills. Students may do multiple weeks with minimal repetition, or participate in a focused specialized climbing camp. If you are unsure if your child would like rock climbing, then consider a private half-day family climb to try it out. Mention this article and save 10 percent on camp sign up. Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School is a member of Maine Youth Camps, licensed by Maine Department of Health and Human Services, and accredited by American Mountain Guides Association and Professional Climbing Instructors Association. Leaders are registered Maine Trip Leaders and professionally certified in climbing instruction and wilderness first aid.

Pi n e Tre e Camp a special place to Flashback to the “Fabulous Fifties” campe rs with disabi liti es with Penobscot Theatre Company! COURTESY OF PINE TREE CAMP

Nestled among the pine trees in Rome, Maine, you will find a special place that many call “heaven on earth.” What makes this summer camp so special? Pine Tree Camp, a program of Pine Tree Society, offers a traditional summer camp experience to Maine children and adults with a wide range of intellectual and physical disabilities. Our campers cover a wide spectrum — from those needing minimal assistance, to those requiring extensive support in all aspects of daily living. The barrier-free, 285-acre setting is completely accessible ensuring that campers, regardless of ability level, are able to enjoy typical summer camp activities. Our counseling staff provides constant care and support to campers to ensure that they are meaningfully participating in all activities. Counselors live in cabins with campers and are hands-on 24/7 to ensure that campers are safe and cared for. Summer camp is all about making friends. That’s no different at Pine Tree Camp. Our counseling staff is trained in providing support to campers in making friends. The result is a close bond between cabin mates and connections that live well beyond the summer. Since it began in 1945, Pine Tree Camp has never turned a camper away due to inability to pay tuition. This open-door policy is in place thanks to thousands of generous donors across Maine and beyond.

Ma ke li ke -mi n de d STEM fri e n ds at MSSM Camp! COURTESY OF MAINE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS The MSSM STEM Summer Camp in beautiful Aroostook County is a calculated blend of classes covering the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as traditional summer camp fun. In the morning there are three classes, and campers can pick their top 10 of all available. We do our best to match them with at least their top two. There is no homework and no experience needed. We take you from the ground up and teach you everything you need to know. This summer classes include Lift Off, Eclipse Explorations, Intro to Programming, Part & Pieces, Get Triggy With It, To Infinity and Beyond (math), Rubik’s Cube, Advanced LEGO Robotics, How Healthy is Your Forest, Digital Wood Carving, Origami in the 21st Century, Electronic Fabric and Fibers, Constructive Chaos, Moneyball (math in baseball), 3D Printing, The Science of Clay, and that’s just the classes. In the afternoon there is a new class called “Instructor’s Passion.” These classes change every day and campers can choose five different ones each week. These vary greatly as they reflect what our instructors love. Some of the proposed topics so far include history of board games, creating Komatex costumes, the math covering games, geocaching, types of hot sauce, making webpages, artificial intelligence, 360 video, story of great music, internet security, problem solving, and more. There are also traditional summer camp activities such as rock climbing, NERF wars, capture the flag, game tournaments (chess, checkers, ping pong, Magic the Gathering), Monster Night (challenges), a talent show, and our famous 100-foot MEGA waterslide. It’s so big the fire department dumps water down it. Our staff consists of ex-campers as mentors and counselors. Mentors are age 15-17 and counselors are 18 and up. We have an RN on staff as the nurse. The instructors and administrators all have bachelor’s degrees and years of experience in working with kids. Most of our instructors are teachers elsewhere in Maine, but some are industry professionals that take time off to share their passion for STEM education. The MSSM Summer Camp was originally created as an all girls’ camp, but there were a number of boys that wanted to participate so we opened our doors. It is still our primary goal to get campers interested in STEM fields and hope they pursue degrees and careers in their future. There is financial aid, and scholarships are available to those who qualify. We also have a bus that goes from South Portland to/from camp. Each summer, we are host to over 500 campers from all around Maine and even outside of Maine and international. This is an excellent chance to keep your child academically stimulated during the summer and meet new friends. We have a large number of returning campers that stay with us for five years until they age out. After that, there is an opportunity to work at camp as a mentor and later as a counselor. It’s a great experience for kids and a chance to meet new like-minded friends. We hope to see you there!

All Sa i nts camp e ncou rag es exploration i n fu n, structu re d setti ng COURTESY OF ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC SCHOOL Once again, All Saints Catholic School will be providing an exciting opportunity for your school-age child to come learn and explore with us in our educational Summer Program. Educational researchers have found that students experience significant learning loss when they do not participate in educational activities during the summer months. Studies show that students perform, on average, one month behind where they left off in the spring, scoring lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer than they do on the same tests at the end of the school year. A well-structured educational-based summer program can help close the gap associated with summer learning loss, and even boost your child’s performance for years to come. At All Saints, the summer learning program offers exciting hand-on activities to encourage exploration and creativity in a fun but structured setting. Our goal is to keep children learning and engaging in a variety of educational topics while cultivating new interests. Led by trained, experienced and certified teachers, each theme and activity is chosen to allow students to explore a wide range of topics for a well-rounded, high-quality summer learning experience. The program offers a new adventure each week over the ten-week period, with themes based in art, science, history and social studies. Students will begin the summer learning about “Health and Fitness” with visits from local fitness trainers and medical-field personnel. They will keep personal health and fitness journals. We will also provide an amazing “Robotics Week” where students will learn about robots and coding. “Animal Week” will welcome visits from a veterinarian, a variety of animals and a service dog. During “Countries Around the World” week, we will learn about the countries Mexico, Italy, China, France and England and have special guest visitors from some of those countries. The All Saints summer program is a full-day program open to students from all school districts, grades preschool through five. Both Catholic and nonCatholic students are welcome and accepted for a summer of learning, fun, exploration and adventure. Children can sign up for the whole summer or for specifically-themed weeks at a rate of $150 a week or pay $35 a day to attend selected days each week. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis as space is limited.

To register, call Mary Soucy, Director of Summer Programs, at 207-941-9585 or visit allsaintsmaine.org

In addition to great hands-on STEM activities, all campers get to visit Challenger’s unique simulators. In our most premier camp, Astronaut Academy, middle school students get to fly simulated space missions. Campers role-play as mission controllers and astronauts, performing jobs of a space mission crew as they follow procedures, solve problems, work as teams, and apply skills in reading, math, science, and engineering.

Fight summe r bra i n dra i n with Ma i n e Robotics Camps COURTESY OF MAINE ROBOTICS

As a parent, we always have to figure out what is going to happen during those long summer months. Do we have to work? Are we leaving our children at home? Do we send them to camp? Research shows that when children are mentally active during the summer months, they return to school the next year at about where they left. On the other hand, children that are left understimulated for the summer drop two or three months of their schooling. It even has a name: it’s called “summer brain drain.” One thing we can do is to make sure our children are learning, experiencing, and having fun during the summer. Of course, some campers migrate towards sports, others towards art, and still others towards technology. It’s with an eye towards those thousands of children who want technology that Maine Robotics started its summer technology camps back in 2002. Children already live in a technologically-driven world, and it will only become more so as they grow up. We wanted to give them the skills to enter that world while having fun at the same time. Since 2002, we’ve had over 5,400 potential programmers, engineers, mechanics, teachers, nurses, doctors and scientists enrolled in our summer camp programs, all learning to be part of our future. It doesn’t matter where your child ends up this summer—just make sure they end up somewhere that will help them move into the future.

Ke e p i n touch with ki ds at camp Summer camp is an exciting way for children to spend their extended vacations from the classroom. Camps cater to various interests, including sports, crafts and even technological hobbies. Children who attend overnight camps may spend several nights away from home. Some kids take this in stride, while others, possibly away from home for the first time, may experience some homesickness. Staying in touch while the kids are at camp can help alleviate fears and show children their parents care. Camps now handle communication issues differently than

they might have when today’s parents were campers. While it once common for campers to send handwritten letters or short missives home to mom and dad, technology has changed that. Today’s campers may have access to email accounts, or they even may be allowed to bring mobile phones along. This can facilitate communication, but it also may take away from the camping experience. Parents need to find a balance between what might be too little or too much contact with campers. After all, camp is kids’ chance to grow independent for a few days or weeks.

LEARN CAMP RULES.

The camp will likely provide information regarding correspondence. Camps may permit parents to send one-way emails and regular mail, but limit campers to handwritten letters only. Determine if mobile phones are allowed or should be left at home. Knowing the rules can help parents and kids plan accordingly.

PACK CORRESPONDENCE SUPPLIES.

Send kids to camp with fun papers, stickers, pens, and other crafty items. This way they’ll be inspired to write home once or twice. Provide brief lessons on how to address an envelope for campers who may not know how.

CHECK BLOGS AND TEXTS. Some camps may blog about campers’ progress, post information on social media or send out mass texts. These messages can reassure parents that their youngsters are doing just fine. Figure out which tech options are available from camp administrators.

SEND A CARE PACKAGE. Treat the campers to some supplies from home. Pack camp-approved snacks and other reminders of home. Be sure to include enough for the entire cabin and your son or daughter will be the camp star. EXPECT SOME SILENCE. If camp is going well and campers’ days are fun-filled, they may be too busy for daily correspondence. Parents may get nervous when they don’t routinely see or hear from their children, but chances are everything is going swimmingly. The camp experience is often harder on parents than children, as campers have their friends and activities to keep them busy. Brief communication helps campers grow more confident and independent.

Aca dia Hospital camp for those with emotional, behavioral issu es COURTESY OF NORTHERN LIGHT ACADIA HOSPITAL Northern Light Acadia Hospital’s Summer Treatment Program (STP) is an intensive day program for children and adolescents aged 5-18 who have conflicts at home, at school, or participating in community activities because of emotional or behavioral problems due to a mental health diagnosis. Programming occurs onsite at Northern Light Acadia Hospital in Bangor, Maine, with both indoor and outdoor spaces dedicated for activities.

All therapy groups are facilitated by Masters-level clinicians and are divided out by developmental ages. Lunch is provided onsite as well at no additional charge.

Ma i n e Fi ddle Camp teach es Ma i n e music tra ditions COURTESY MAINE FIDDLE CAMP Maine Fiddle Camp is a unique music-based summer camp you’re sure to love! This outdoor camp focuses on the traditional dance music of the Scots, Irish, French, and Scandinavian traditions as they’ve evolved in Maine. Our large staff of traditional musicians play and teach fiddle, piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, cello, bass, penny whistle/flute, mandolin, accordion, harmonica, vocals, and more in workshops, performances, jams, song swaps, and dances.

Youth stay in cabins, but may stay in tents with their family if they wish. All campers have convenient access to bathrooms and hot showers. Wholesome meals and snacks are eaten outdoors under tents, and classes are also held mostly outdoors. Mornings are spent in classes with campers grouped by ability for small group instruction. Afternoons offer time for special-interest workshops, to practice on your own or with a friend, or for non-musical fun such as swimming. In the evenings, there are concerts, dances, coffeehouses, and variety shows featuring performances by both staff and campers, all under the big tent, as well as jams for various levels, and sometimes other activities. Spontaneous jams are apt to happen almost anywhere. Musicians of all ages and ability levels are welcome at Maine Fiddle Camp. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
