Forest Acres

About

Welcome to the place built on nearly 100 years of tradition, where the White Mountains meet the rambling Saco river. To the place where a 7-year-old learns courage and a 17-year-old develops leadership. A place full of laughter, friendship, challenges, teamwork, diversity. Camp is a place where kids can be themselves. They can learn new activities and flourish in the ones they were already passionate about. Camp is where children from America, Spain, Israel and China live under one roof, learning about other cultures and making life-long friends. Anyone who walks through camp’s gates will agree, it’s difficult to explain the experience and the love that one has for this piece of heaven here in Fryeburg, Maine… but that’s part of the magic of camp.

Campers receive high-quality instruction in a wide variety of fun and challenging activities at Forest Acres camp for girls. Under the guidance of the directors and head counselors of each camp, children design their own special schedule that reflects their interests, age and ability. Junior campers are encouraged to try all activities. Intermediate campers elect activities they most enjoy from the many offerings. Senior campers may choose a daily schedule that provides greater focus on their favorite activities and those they wish to specialize in. The program remains flexible throughout the camping experience; the head counselor and program director are always available to assist and guide all campers.

Waterfront activities include swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding and kayaking. We also offer mountain biking, mountaineering, orienteering, backpacking, and canoeing trips. Excursions to the picturesque Maine coast and the snow-capped White Mountains of New Hampshire are a part of the regular program.
