Camp Arcadia
What we're all about...
Camp Arcadia has been teaching 21st Century skills since the early 20th century. A warm, family atmosphere and close guidance foster collaboration, interpersonal skills, establish lasting friendships and acceptance of others. We encourage risk taking through the exploration of new areas of learning and group living so every girl will have the confidence to face new situations and circumstances with strength. Located on a private span of Maine woods, lake with a mile of shore front, and several fields. We have a safe home that stimulates an interest in the natural world and friends that last a lifetime. Our program affords opportunities to expand individual interests through a wide offering of activities, from sailing, swimming, canoeing, tennis, horseback riding to theater, dance, arts & crafts and many other activities. Camp Arcadia offers two, four and seven week sessions. Arcadia has something for everyone, and encourages every member of the community to make the world a better place because you have been in it.
