In 2020, The Summer Camp signed a ten-year lease to host our summer programs at Camp Kirkwold on Lovejoy Pond in Readfield, Maine. It is surrounded by 100 acres of upland woods, wetlands, and streams.
The sprawling site offers multiple outdoor pavilions, outdoor cooking spaces and campfires, a small playground, an archery site, a level grass-covered field for kickball, soccer, and other land sports, and a waterfront that includes a sandy swimming area and watercraft, including a pontoon boat, a sailboat, canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards.
Permanent camp buildings include a spacious dining hall, seven sleeping bunks, a large washhouse, a nurse’s cabin, a dance hall, and an arts and crafts cabin. Standalone handwashing stations are strategically located near activity spaces, campfires, and outhouses.
