The day camp features swimming, plus a variety of other skill building and educational opportunities for children ages 10-16 whose families or guardians meet Department of Health and Human Services income guidelines. There is no cost to participants for the program, which includes a comprehensive sports physical examination, a breakfast snack and lunch. Some slots for youngsters of families above the income guidelines are usually available, and those names are placed on a waiting list.
Transportation is provided from designated, major pick-up points within an hour's distance of Orono.
Plans call for reinstating an outdoor adventure component this year, which would include canoeing and ropes course work. As the result of a grant from the State Department of Education, a nutritionist will be available to work with campers on planning and preparing easy, healthy meals.
