Our Puffin Program fosters development and provides an environment and structure that watches campers become more self confident. Puffins live in cabin groups of 8-10 with two cabin leaders. The program is a good balance of fun, knowledge and experience with daily camp activities such as outdoor living skills, farm and food systems, natural history, watercraft, and visual arts, along with the opportunity for free choice and general swim. Their experience culminates in a 3-day saltwater canoe camping trip, traveling to a campsite around Chewonki Neck. Their return to camp is celebrated by the community with a campfire and feast.
