This family camp is a true gem - the best kind of all-inclusive vacation for families. My family of…read morefive loves it. The kids spend time by themselves, my husband and I have time alone and together, and we have time with the kids to enjoy each other as a family. The camp is large enough for the kids to exercise their independence --heading to the barn for activities or kayaking in the cove by themselves without me worrying about them. When we go, I don't cook, clean or plan anything - which as a busy mom, is the best kind of vacation. The camp is rustic and simple but very clean with beautifully manicured grounds - a space just perfect for appreciating nature. The food is delicious (I probably gained 5 lbs last week) and easily catered to special diets. I enjoyed a nice mix of structured activities (fishing, sailing, art, archery, land sports, barn dance, bingo, etc) and down time (time at the lake or for a nature walk or just to relax around the fire). I also appreciated the sense of community that camp strives to create each week among the family members. At about 10-12 families per week, it is just the right size. Can't recommend this special place highly enough and I can't wait to go back.

Visit the camp website (check out the videos!), reach out to the directors, and don't be discouraged by these few reviews if it looks like a good fit for your kids.

We came here for a wedding, which is the context of this review…read more The staff had plenty of golf carts helping guests with the rather long walk to get to the wedding setting. This was helpful and staff seemed engaged and interested in helping. The setting for the wedding was lake side, very picturesque for a fall afternoon. They had adequate seating and benches set up. It was a very nice ceremony which the setting contributed to. Reception and meal was at the main lodge. There is a large outside deck which was nice for mingling during the pre meal drinks and waiter server appetizers. Dinner was buffet style inside the lodge. There was adequate staff and things went smoothly for a crowd of about 150. Food was ok, I'd give it an average rating. Entertainment was an outdoor canvas covered band with a decent dance floor. This was well done. All in all, this is a good wedding venue, if this is what you are looking for. They handled this crowd of 150 with no noticeable snafus. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars....Solid spot.

You are allowed to use the group exercise rooms when a class isn't in session, where you will have lots of room to stretch (there isn't much room for that in the fitness area). Membership is also less expensive than in other areas of Maine. It's amazing to watch all the activity happening here, it's a great resource to the Waterville community.
