She is a great teacher and clearly knows horses! I am extremely intimidated by the equestrian community but Morgan and Cohne have made us feel like we are a member of their family.

Our guide Kaitlyn was very patient with the two younger children on our ride, and always gave useful advice. The guide would keep checking back at the group along the trail to make sure everyone was ok. Took pictures for us at the end as well which was nice! I think some of the negative reviews on here mostly have to do with Groupon, which it seems they do not use anymore. Another negative seems to be towards the owner, whom I did not meet, but her employee Kaitlyn was very responsible and knowledgeable! Give them a try, I had a great time! I brought my boyfriend who had never ridden a horse before, and he wasn't screamed or yelled at! Very positive experience.

Highly recommend FEC. My wife and family have been riding and training at this barn for almost 10…read moreyears. Great facility. The owners just recently helped us purchase a dressage horse from another barn in New York and we couldn't have been more pleased with their attention to detail through out the process. If you are looking for a barn that focuses on Dressage you will not find one better than FEC. The world class clinics of Olympian Dressage riders and trainers that they bring to Maine are incredible. Their knowledge about Dressage is second to none. The owners have high expectations because they are a cut above the barns that do group lessons or just trail ride. I couldn't imagine my wife or daughter riding anywhere else.

Overall takeaway: Tripp Lake Camp is a lovely and sweet place, with long-standing traditions, and filled with bright-eyed and confident girls having fun. There was a lot of positive energy, and purposeful intent. My wife and I are glad that we took the time to drive up to Maine, and grateful that our daughter had this positive experience/introduction to overnight camp. Leslie, Janet and Stacy were all incredibly warm and welcoming, and our daughter said that the counselors and other girls she met made her feel safe and at home. She also had a lot of fun, made a few friends, and was excited that she was able to participate in some of the Tripp Lake camp traditions (including lots of singing, and a play put on by some of the other campers). After picking her up Sunday morning, our daughter told us that she definitely wants to go to Tripp Lake for the full summer next year. We took her to visit a few other girls camps in Maine after finishing Rookie Weekend, and all were quite nice. We decided to stop by Tripp Lake again before driving home, and were fortunate to come during "sing song" practice, and to see a camp meal where the girls were all singing. We got a good sense of the camp spirit. Thank you again to Tripp Lake for giving our daughter such a wonderful first overnight camp experience.

She loves the activities- horse-back riding in particular, and it is reassuring to see pictures of her smiling ear-to-ear every evening when they post pictures of that day's activities.

Wanting to celebrate Maine Maple Sunday without driving too far, my friend and I chose Cooper's…read moreFarm in Windham (and weren't surprised to see many other Portland-based faces there). Which advertised that they had maple syrup demos all day, complimentary maple syrup on ice cream, a self-guided walking tour of their farm, and maple-products for sale (including syrup, candy, coated nuts, cotton candy, whoopie pies, etc.)... and, yep, that's EXACTLY what we got! The only thing we were missing was watching someone actually tap a tree (or provide a hands-on demo of such a fun thing). Still... it was a great time! Mostly, Cooper's is a small farm raising registered AMHA mini ponies (which they've been doing since 2004). They also have a greenhouse, raise registered Charolais cattle, and have some gorgeous peacocks. All of which you can check out, take photos of, but shouldn't really be touching ("please don't feed your fingers to the mini ponies" being one of the better signs I've seen in a while!). We had a great time on Maine Maple Sunday, despite the negative temperatures thanks to a terribly fierce wind chill. We only had to wait in line for about ten minutes to check out the sugar shack (we arrived at 10:30am; when we left around noon, the line was out to the street though... lesson here? On Maine Maple Sunday COME EARLY), which was warm and steamy. The employees inside were abundantly nice, patient, thoughtful, and well educated. Kudos to them for maintaining those dispositions with the hoards of people coming through! There was ALSO a pancake and bacon breakfast for just $7.50, peacock feathers for sale for just $1, and - yes - loads of maple-based goodies. I left with some amber syrup "rich in flavor", candies, and maple coated cashews (which are sweeter and more maple-y than I expected them to be.... so sinful!). Yum. Anyway, if you're looking for somewhere close by to celebrated Maine Maple Sunday in years to come, Cooper's will provided a couple hours of entertainment for sure!

First we took the tour through the hut where the syrup is made. The gentleman working the station was very knowledgable. I wish I had more questions prepared for him. The tour ends in a shop complete with maple cotton candy, maple shakers, maple nuts (the cashews are AMAZING), amber and dark maple syrup, and maple candies. I bought everything haha it was all so good. Then as you exit you get a small vanilla ice cream topped with maple syrup. Super great addition to the tour even though it was cold outside. We were then able to walk around the premises and saw the most adorable mini ponies (one had a new born!). Then we found the cows, peacocks, pheasants, and trees that were tapped for sap. Cooper's for MMS (that's what the cool kids call it) was fun and educational. I would go to another event at this farm :)

We had seen the fencing center at a camp expo a number of years ago where he first saw the sport as something he might like. At that time we thought it was too expensive and did not pursue. Here we are 4 years later and thanks to the coaching of Nancy, my son is headed to the Junior Olympics! The fencing center offers classes for all ages and three weapons, Foil, Epee, and Saber. Nancy has been fencing for many years and uses her experience to teach fencers the importance of foot work then the weapon. My son has excelled under Nancy's guidance and look forward to see where this road takes us! Fencing the physical game of chess!
