Free Books Saturday is a day to browse free gently used and sorted, good quality books for all ages.

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.

"Off the Charts", a Portland-based jazz quartet, will be playing the last Sunday of each month through May 2025 at brunch at Lenny's Pub, Hawkes Plaza, 1274 Bridgton Road, Westbrook, ME. Brunch is from 10-2; music, 11 to 1:30.

“Off the Charts” is Kenny Gaspar, piano and trumpet; Rick Bernard, bass; Rusty Quinn, drums; and Mike Banas, guitar. While their influences include everything from Bebop to Blues to Chet Baker, their primary repertoire is drawn from that genre of music known as the “Great American Songbook” – the canon of significant early 20th century jazz standards and pop tunes (Ellington, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Arlen, et al.)

Owlbear’s Rest is usually an escape from adulting for grown-ups—except on Sunday mornings! Bring the whole crew for a game-filled adventure that’s perfect for adventurers of any age. Your little halflings can enjoy a warm steamer while you sip on a well-earned latte (oat milk available!).

Family gaming time starts here!

✨ Keep an eye on our social media—some sessions will feature special organized activities just for kiddos!
