Because we take the safety of children so seriously, we wanted to make sure Kingsley Pines Camp could fully comply with CDC and State of Maine Guidelines for opening camp before finalizing any plans. Although the Maine Guideline were only published on May 22, 2020, we have been discussing safety measures since COVID-19 first appeared in late January. We have carefully reviewed our operating procedures to assure that we can make them safe while providing a fun and challenging environment for children.
We are altering our calendar to provide a single session of camp that offers families a choice of 3 or 4 ½ week stay. By being a “single” session camp, we are able to provide a much higher degree of safety for our campers, since “new” children will NOT be arriving part way through the camp season. We will NOT allow visitors during the summer, drop off and pick up will be contained to a specific area, and Staff will stay on our property all summer. In effect, Kingsley Pines Camp will be a quarantine space.
Unfortunately, many children’s summer camps do not find themselves in a position to open in 2020 for various reasons individual to their situation. We believe that children are in desperate need of outdoor activities, social experiences, and just plain fun. We are working hard to make the summer as safe as possible.
Please tell your friends that Kingsley Pines camp is OPEN this summer!! We expect to be fully subscribed due to demand and capacity limits we have established!
Please see kingsleypines.com for rates and dates!
Our motto for the summer is :
BE SAFE
BE SMART
BE KIND
