Bring your camp staff and team members who are already in Maine! Bring your children! Bring your family! Bring your neighbors! Bring your friends! Tickets are a very reasonable $15.28 per person for Section 207. Ticket purchase deadline is Monday May 4.
Tailored to first and second-year counselors and CITs, this workshop is the ideal opportunity for your staff to fortify their pre-season training by taking a deeper dive into managing homesickness, sensitive topics, challenging behaviors, and personal well-being. Facilitated by Dr. Chris Thurber, this three-hour program is a fantastic opportunity to laugh and learn with a diverse cohort of enthusiastic peers who work at other Maine camps.
MSC members will come together for their annual gathering at Migis Lodge on September 25. The post-camp event will offer time for connection and catching up, awards presentations
and, similar to last fall, roundtable discussions about challenges and successes of the summer 2025 camp season.
