Program: Birch Rock Summer Educational Camp: Waterford, Maine
Description: Proud achievements, fast friendships, and great fun are the rewards of a summer at Birch Rock. For boys 7 to 15, we offer the finest of a vanishing experience: traditional rustic camping in a small, supportive community that will capture their hearts.
Birch Rock Camp came to life in 1926 on the shores of Lake McWain, based on the founders' simple but powerful idea: home and school aren't enough for boys to build self-reliance and character. Close contact with nature is also essential. The founders—teachers and camp counselors— were compelled by another exceptional notion. Birch Rock would foster cooperation rather than competition, and boys could rely on mutual support while they tackled personal goals. This notion helped Birch Rock stand out among Maine overnight summer camps.
Participants: Boys Ages 5 - 15.
