The Summer Camp is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided to all eligible children free of charge. These meals will be funded by the USDA Summer Food Service program.
This summer, we signed a long-term lease to host our summer programs at a beautiful site on Lovejoy Pond in Readfield, Maine! This ensures that The Summer Camp programs will be around for many more years to come. We know our campers and staff are eager to see the new site. We will continue to share pictures throughout the year as we prepare for our 2021 camp season. We hope you enjoy our first video! Welcome to The Summer Camp in Readfield, Maine!
It is with a very sad heart that The Summer Camp is announcing that all 2020 summer sessions have been canceled.
For the last few months, The Summer Camp and the Board of Directors have been working hard to find a safe solution that would allow Summer Camp to happen this summer. Maine’s phased reopening guidelines prohibit any overnight camp from operating before July 1. After July 1, total group sizes (including campers and staff) must be 50 or less and all individuals traveling into Maine from out of state must quarantine for 14 days. With these restrictions and the need for continued social distancing, healthcare monitoring, and sanitation procedures necessary during a pandemic, it has become clear that we will not be able to host camp sessions as we planned this summer.
Since 1986, campers and staff have gathered to create a community built on belonging, joy, and acceptance of each other. Each summer, we share favorite moments at camp such as when we are trying new activities, supporting each other in rough times and celebrating together during the good times. We share special moments around the campfire, during campouts with our cabin mates, and cheering on each other at the dance show. What fun we have in the dining room eating our favorite meals prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff, and then the birthday cake comes out! We all will miss these moments that we hold onto in our memories and our hearts. Each of us is grieving for the loss of our summer home, the fun we have and the friends we miss.
We, at The Summer Camp, are here for you and excited to bring the spirit of The Summer Camp to each of our 2020 registered campers. Watch your mail, email and social media for updates! We may not be together physically, but we are together in our hearts and will get together using technology. When it becomes safe to do so, we’ll reunite in small groups. ❤
Attention Summer Campers and families! The deadline for completed applications to be turned in is FEB. 28th! We have sent your application packet to the organization/school that you registered with last year or if you registered on your own, we mailed your application to the most recent mailing address we have on file for you.

If you are a new camper, please contact us in early March to see if we have additional applications available. Thanks for understanding!
This year brought loads of fun, memories and of course friendships! We hope you enjoy reading our fall newsletter that highlights some of our memorable moments.
