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.

That is one top of the line arts & craft house.
Something about slipping into the cool woods, the playhouse and going behind the old water tower at the all girls’ camp doesn't seem right coming from you. Can I come next time? Please? I don't have much.
Play nice, Ernie. Maybe I'll take you on the next trip there and we can detour through Swampscott.
I thought that was a community 'cold' tub, not a water tower..
Coach likes to check me for hernias behind the old water tower.......
Is there any way I can work in the laundry room? I have a passion for laundry services.
Laundry room? I think it's just a couple rocks by the lakeside.
How do the girls wash their clothes? Is that giant arts & crafts building really a sweat shop that pumps out new clothes for them to wear?
Just you never mind. You're ruining summer camp.
