We have several events throughout the summer for our campers, families, and friends. We have 2 family days (Sundays) this summer:
time for the whole family to come play out at camp. Meet our wonderful CDC staff, go canoeing, paper mache, play some tennis, watch
our camp theatrical production and enjoy a picnic on the beach!
We also have one Family Overnight during the summer- great opportunity to camp out with the family, make new friends, enjoy s'mores
on the beach, and the beautiful sunset on Sebago.
