When we say we keep the action going until the very end of the session, we truly mean it.  What an incredible final week we had!  From Moose Bowl to Katahdin Cup, Little Mermaid to Mama Mia, Moose Stock to Final Social, Banquet to Closing Ceremonies…we squeezed as much joy as we could into our last week in Maine! It was so nice to see many of our families join us on Departure Day. It fills our hearts with joy to see families reunited as campers share all the fun they had while introducing them to their friends and counselors. And while we’re sad to season come to an end, we’re thrill ..read more

It seemed like any other dinner. Sure, we had an awesome Dining Hall Dance Party after dinner, but suddenly things got rowdy, as our CITs used the Dance Party as the perfect opportunity to break Spirit Days 2023!! For the next two days, the Blue Earthquakes and the Green Volcanoes competed hard on the field, cheering each other on in a wonderful display of competitive sportsmanship. The cheers were top-notch and the plaques were incredible! And after two hard-fought days, we were all winners, as the final score seemed less important than the fun we had! We had a blast, but ..read more

 It’s always amazing to see our incredible campers – both new and returning – dive right into camp.   Programming has been in full swing. The sounds of children cheering and singing and supporting each other rings out from the ball fields to the waterfront, culinary to theater, adventure to arts and everywhere in between! Our first “S” Day was a massive success. Our CITs braved the rapids of the Kennebec River in what’s become a highlight of the campers’ final summer. Our 8th graders departed on a trip that led to some of Maine’s most iconic destinations – Acadia ..read more

It’s hard to believe that we’re now past the half-way point of another incredible LoSo summer! While it seems like we’ve just arrived, there has been so much action packed into every day.

For the next two days, the Green Team and the Blue Team left it all on the fields. The effort shown by both team, the spirit on display and the sportsmanship offered made us so proud. It was one of the closest Spirit Days in recent memory, and, in the end, we all won. While we all ..read more

It seems like just yesterday we were reuniting with old friends and meeting new friends and sharing in the anticipation of another incredible summer on the shores of Crescent Lake!   Now we find ourselves looking back on all that has transpired in such a short period of time.
