Community Calendar

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.

This two-day workshop is for women who are new to sea kayaking or are looking to grow as paddlers
Learn, refine and develop your sea kayaking skills in a supportive, fun atmosphere. This special weekend is for novice to intermediate, female-identifying kayakers who want to feel confident, safe and independent in their sea kayak adventures. Gain the skills you need to expand your adventures on the water.

We will cover basic strokes, power and efficiency, rescue techniques and safety protocols, ocean dynamics, navigation and trip planning. You’ll be invited to accept new challenges and you’ll be supported as you grow and learn.

We will be on the water from 9am-4pm each day of the workshop.
