Camp Beech Cliff - Mt. Desert, Maine

Lightning Camp

(campers entering grades 4 – 6)

To Campers: “Let your creative and adventurous spirits soar, sing old songs with new enthusiasm, get the chance to explore the woods and waters of MDI! Whether it is boating for the first time, or arts & crafts for the hundredth, Lightning campers will have both choice and challenge in each activity. Bring your Lightning energy to light up our dress-up days, talent shows and scavenger hunts …”
— Katie, Lightning Camp Coordinator

To Parents: The aim of this camp is to provide a wide variety of activities for excitement and exploration. We intentionally integrate longer activity blocks in certain program areas for more challenge and skill building. Yet, we understand that this age group still needs plenty of support and supervision. Lightning campers will begin and end each day as a large group and travel to activities in smaller groups. This consistent social setting encourages respectful interactions with peers and strong connections with counselors.
