ABOUT CAMP
For over a century, Camp Wawenock for Girls has been a beautiful haven for all those who spend their summers here. Located on a private, sandy cove, on Sebago Lake, Maine, Wawenock's setting is stunningly beautiful. Towering pines frame Camp's land-based program and living areas while crystal clear water provides a wonderful base for the extensive waterfront activities. Created and refined over time by educators, Camp Wawenock's Program and Philosophy are based on time tested values, enduring traditions, and a practice of ongoing evaluation and improvement.
As a full-season camp, Wawenock affords girls the time that is necessary to develop both their social and activity skills. As campers return, they build upon previous summers' relationships and learning, take on more formal and informal leadership roles and soon come to believe and live the words, "This Camp Is Yours!"
Camp Wawenock for girls…
Where time is the secret ingredient that pulls a complete camp experience together, and girls build skills & friendships to last a lifetime!
The Program at Camp Wawenock is structured and consistent, with significant choice built in for all ages of campers. At the start of camp, campers select six activities they wish to focus on for the summer. (This is in addition to swimming instruction, which all campers take five times per week.) Of these six focus activities, campers will be scheduled for 3 of them three times per week and the other 3 twice per week. The same campers and staff are scheduled together in these focus activities, all summer long, maximizing learning opportunities and skill development for individual campers and class groups. Throughout each summer, and from year to year, campers work towards individual goals in their chosen activities. They are also recognized for reaching particular milestones as they develop their levels of skill and proficiency in successive summers. Older campers working on their Advanced Skills and Instructor’s Aide levels begin to learn the basics of assessment and instruction in that activity.
Beyond their focus activities; all campers have a daily choice period, called ‘Hobby Hour’ as well as an opportunity to go to ‘General Swim’ at the end of the afternoon. To break up the routine and to allow for additional activity choice opportunities, special program days occur each week on Thursdays and Sundays.
On Thursdays, campers sleep a little later, enjoy a relaxing, pajama-clad buffet breakfast and then select from a wide range of activity choices for each hour of that day. Most regular program offerings are included in these choices, along with some ‘special’ ones such as: knitting, cooking, fitness, talent contests, nature hikes, sports skills clinics, Fairy House building, motor boat rides, reading and relaxing on the beach, etc. In addition, the Camp Wawenock Golf Program operates on Thursdays at a local course under the direction of the head professional and his/her assistants. Thursday afternoons often involve ‘special events’ like circus or carnival programs, game shows, crazy relay events, etc. All campers enjoy the freedom of choice, fun factor and spontaneity that exists in the Thursday program structure and return, refreshed, to their regular program choices the next day.
Sundays are also special program days: Campers again wake a little later and may breakfast in their pajamas, before heading back for a longer than usual cabin time before their morning activity. Sunday mornings are generally devoted to being with your ‘Tribe’– learning songs and cheers, playing games and preparing for the afternoon’s ‘Meet’ – in which all campers represent their tribe in friendly, activity-based competition, while singing and cheering for friends in other events. Tribe meets end with an ‘all-tribe’ event of some kind, in which every tribe member competes simultaneously, or successively. After the ‘all-tribe’ ends final cheers are sung and the campers and staff reunite with friends from either side before heading back to get cleaned up and ready for dinner. Older campers and counselor advisors are elected by the campers, each season, to lead and support the tribes.
Beyond traditional camp activities, the Wawenock Program includes opportunities for all campers to learn and practice Leadership Skills.
