Breakwater Summer Programs

Sun-kissed days of summer transform into a kaleidoscope of creativity at the Breakwater Summer Programs. Located in the charming city of Portland, Maine, this camp is a magical haven where young minds can explore the world of dance, singing, and arts & crafts. The camp's name, Breakwater, is steeped in a heartwarming philosophy that mirrors its mission. Just as a breakwater provides a tranquil harbor for ships, offering them shelter before they brave the open sea, so does this camp for its young attendees. It offers them a nurturing environment, akin to a safe harbor, where they can foster their talents and build their confidence. Inspired by this beautiful metaphor, Breakwater has designed a range of programs that cater to different artistic interests. From the rhythmic cadence of dance classes to the harmonious melodies of singing sessions, and from the colorful world of painting to the tangible delights of arts and crafts, the camp engages children in an enriching journey of self-discovery through art. At Breakwater, the goal is not just to teach children new skills, but to instill in them the confidence and competence they'll need to navigate their future. It's a place where the vibrancy of childhood meets the joy of learning, a place that truly lives up to its name—a safe harbor for young, creative spirits, gearing up to sail the sea of life.
