Tucked away in the scenic tranquility of Casco, Maine, Camp Arcadia offers girls an opportunity to dive headfirst into a world of discovery, growth, and unabashed fun. Celebrating its 97th year in 2012, this sleep-away camp has been a cherished summer sanctuary for young ladies hailing from a staggering 23 states and 12 countries, each one adding a unique thread to the colorful tapestry of camp life. At Camp Arcadia, the splendor of the Maine woods, fields, and lakes is more than just a backdrop—it's a playground that sparks curiosity in the natural world. But it's not all about the great outdoors. The camp's ethos revolves around fostering deep friendships and bolstering self-confidence through communal living. Here, laughter echoes from every corner, bonds of friendship are forged, and every camper finds their inner strength. The camp's dynamic program, peppered with activities like boating, campcraft, canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, and even windsurfing, is tailored to cater to individual interests and abilities rather than age or lodge units. The camp's defining principle is empowering each girl to design her own summer adventure and encouraging them to reach proficiency in the Basic Activities. But rest assured, there's always room for spontaneity. Amid the usual daily program, the thrill of canoe and hiking trips, paddle boarding, and low ropes will punctuate the days, keeping the spirit of adventure alive. In the warm embrace of Camp Arcadia, every girl can find her own rhythm, her own joy, and her own unforgettable summer story.
