Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
My sons have attended Camp Chewonki for the past 8 years. This summer my older son will train as a counselor and his brother will be a camper. Camp Chewonki is a beautiful paradise with well structured programs that teach,respect for the environment, peers and self.They fill the day with programs that teach stewardship of the environment to children as young as 8 thru High School. Camp Chewonki adheres to a 100 year tradition of programs with depth and integrity that teach self reliance and respect for nature thru a meaningful hands on experiences nearly unheard of in this day and age. I have watched my children blossom in confidence and competence as a result. They have met incredible people from all walks of life and all corners of the world and made lifelong friends. AND finally my boys also tell me it really really fun !
