After visiting friends in Boston, (see post below) I ventured north into Maine to visit friends that are working the summer at Camp Kippewa - an all-girls, residential camp near Augusta. It was nice to get into the cool woods after a hot and humid weekend in Beantown. The camp was recently purchased by a company called CampGroup from a husband and wife, who had owned the camp for about 50 years. Kippewa has experienced decreased enrollment over the past few years and CampGroup buys distressed camps in the hopes of reviving them.
The campers enjoy activities such as land sports, water sports, arts and crafts, theater and horseback riding. Nice place to spend a summer.
