Our philosophy encourages a supportive and cheerful atmosphere in which to have fun, develop friendships and learn a variety of skills and values. A successful summer at camp is filled with many accomplishments both on and off the field. The key to our success is individual attention. Forest and Indian Acres encourage as much independence as a child is capable of handling to achieve their goals. Our program is structured so that all campers are active during each period, while also providing choices to meet personal needs.
Each day children can engage in a variety of activities such as tennis, basketball, baseball or softball, soccer, golf, drama, dance, gymnastics, volleyball, archery, swimming, and even horseback riding. C.J. Law of Mount Holyoke directs the most outstanding equestrian program among camps in the state of Maine. Her staff and horses from Mount Holyoke (2006 IHSA equestrian champions) provide a program offering lessons, shows, horsemanship and so much more.
In this special summer place, the campers of both Forest and Indian Acres thrive as they learn to grow, develop interests and skills, and make friendships that last a lifetime. Most importantly, a successful summer for a child at our camps is about fun. It is also filled with accomplishments.
