Join us for a rare treat–two full summer days where beautiful Chewonki Neck is all yours! July 16 and 17 are “intersession” days, the downtime between the first and second camp sessions. With no participants on campus, we invite you to explore our gorgeous 400-acre campus, reminisce, and enjoy a special reception with Chewonki leaders. Here’s the schedule:
