What’s a typical day like at Camp Chloë?

No two days are exactly the same. Our schedule is organized but flexible, leaving space for spontaneity and camper-led ideas. Campers spend their time swimming at our private beach, hiking, making art, playing games, doing scavenger hunts, cooking, gardening, practicing yoga, and simply enjoying life on a farm in Maine. Days are full, but never rushed—allowing confidence, creativity, and compassion to thrive in the in-between moments.

How many campers and staff are there per session?

We welcome 6–16 campers per session, with 4–6 staff members and occasional guest instructors. Our small size creates a close-knit, personalized camp experience.

Is it a good camp for first-time campers?

Yes! Our small groups, nurturing staff, and cozy home-like setting make this an ideal place for first-time campers to feel safe and supported.

Do you have financial assistance or referral discounts?

Yes! We have financial assistance available to help make camp more accessible (learn more & apply here!). Families can also receive $100 off for each new camper they refer.

What is the food like?

Campers enjoy fresh and delicious meals—often made with ingredients they help grow and harvest from our own gardens. Meals are nourishing, simple, and made mostly from scratch to minimize processed foods. We eat together in a cozy dining room, and often picnic or cook outdoors when the weather allows.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?

In most cases, yes. We work closely with families to accommodate dietary needs. Please reach out before registering to ensure we can meet your child’s needs.

What are the cabins like?

We just built two new cabins this year and they are absolutely gorgeous! They are post-and-beam style, with lots of natural light and fresh air. They’re designed to feel more like homes than bunkhouses. Campers sleep in bunk beds and bring their own bedding.

Is there laundry service at camp?

No, we are unable to offer laundry service during camp, so please pack accordingly.

How can parents stay connected during camp?

We share updates and photos on social media throughout each session. Campers can also send and receive letters by mail.

Can parents visit during camp?

Due to our short session length, we do not offer visiting days.

Can I talk to the director or another camp parent before registering?

Absolutely. You can schedule a Zoom call with our Director, or we’re happy to connect you with current camp families.
