Excellent Maine Summer Camps for Kids

There are some very interesting summer camps for kids in Maine, the state is so hauntingly beautiful. Some are strenuous activity camps and others specialize a bit. The ones I reviewed I found quite fascinating.

Camp Allstar concentrates on training kids for touch competitive sports like ice hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball and tennis. http://www.campallstar.com/ Schedules can be customized to the student's needs and desires, participating in a "skill-appropriate major sport" for 2 hrs. a day. The rest of the time is theirs to customize as they want for other activities, including swimming, fishing, mountain biking, archery, and more. Competing against other teams in the camp at their level prepares them to strengthen their teamwork skill and develop strategies as a group. It really strengthens a kid for all the competition he will encounter at all levels of his adult life, while providing an active summer of auxiliary fun and companionship. The camp is non-denominational and their day ends with a wrap-up of life lessons followed by fun evening activities. Trips on the weekend take campers to Portland for baseball games, bowling and other events. Kids in the 4- and 6-wk. sessions get to go white water rafting, deep-sea fishing and other exciting trips every other Saturday. The camp's golf program is top-notch. The 6-wk. session is a hefty $7,290 while the 4-wk. session is $4,990. The optional golf program costs $340.The earliest sessions start on June 24, and all sessions are ended by at least August 4. There are AllStar logo caps and paraphernalia campers can wear proudly when they go home! Camp uses the great facilities of Kent Hill Preparatory School overlooking the scenic valleys of the Belgrade Lakes region. Cafeteria meals are delicious and varied and campers' accommodations are single-sex dorms with 1-3 roommates to each comfortable room. Call the camp at 800-283-3558.
