Come try out water polo with Southern Maine Water Polo! We are a club that welcomes all newcomers. The only requirement for the sport is that you are an experienced swimmer. We will help to teach the fundamentals of the sport throughout practice. Expect a fantastic workout while playing this fun sport! Make sure to check out our website for any changes to our schedule. We do not practice on holiday weekends.

Growing Routes is a small, overnight summer camp in Midcoast Maine for girls ages 8–15 — a place where kids slow down, feel at home, and spend their days swimming in the lake, making art, cooking together, digging in the garden, exploring outdoors, playing games, learning new skills, and following their curiosity.

Our sessions are intentionally small (8–20 campers), creating space for a relaxed pace and a family-like atmosphere. With a flexible, child-driven schedule, kids have room to truly be themselves — and carry that confidence home.

Many parents come to us wondering:
Is camp right for my child? Is this worth the investment? Will they feel safe, seen, and supported?

We love those questions — and we’re always happy to talk them through. We believe choosing camp should feel thoughtful, not rushed.

✨ 2026 Sessions (Ages 8–15): ✨
- June 21 – July 2 (Ages 11–13)
- July 5 – 17 (Ages 10–12)
- July 26 – August 1 (Ages 8–10)
- August 2 – 14 (Ages 13–15)

💛 Full and partial scholarships available.

Every summer (June-August) we host a weekly group paddle for sea kayakers from June through August. These one-hour sessions are a chance for local paddlers to get on the water together in the early morning when seas on Casco Bay are more likely to be calm.

These paddles are led by our staff, who are happy to share their knowledge, but these are not guided trips and you should not join if you need instruction or assistance in order to participate. Please consider taking one of our lessons or joining a tour if you are new to sea kayaking.

Wondering about your family lineage? Drop in for genealogy help with volunteer Tim Lynch in the library's breezeway. Tim can help you with most things related to genealogy, including: ancestry.com, family tree construction, record keeping, digital resources, local historical societies and more. Tim is at the Falmouth Memorial Library most Tuesday mornings from 9:30-10:30 AM. Feel free to call the library at 207-781-2351 ext. 140 if you would like to check to be sure before you come.

The Lewiston Public Library, in partnership with ArtVan, will be offering in-person art programs.

Starting on September 10th, the programs will take place on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month from 3:30pm-5:00pm in the Children’s Department for children ages 5-14.

Make Art with ArtVan is free, open to the public, and no registration is required. All art supplies will be provided.

Program takes place on the 3rd floor of the Lewiston Public Library, in the Children’s Department. Children aged 5-8 must be accompanied by an adult.

ArtVan is a mobile art program that brings hands-on creative art opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and fun. All of their projects aim to inspire art-making with a variety of materials to explore. ArtVan programs engage all age groups, encourage time outside and reduce screen time, help youth stay connected, diminish stress, and provide release for unvented expressions of emotions, such as loss and confusion.

ArtVan began in 2004 and has provided therapeutic art and strengths-based programs to under-resourced neighborhoods.

The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street. More information on ArtVan programs is available by contacting the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3133 or LPLKids@lewistonmaine.gov.
