Overview

The Growing Together Camp is an overnight experience for young girls on beautiful Wilson Lake in Wilton, Maine. This program includes laid-back fun summertime activities with the added excitement of being right on the lake for a week-long overnight. We will host seven girls, ages 8-10, at a private house on Wilson Lake.  We will enjoy the lake, hiking, berry picking, swimming, playing games, doing arts and crafts, cooking over an open campfire almost every night, and generally enjoying outdoor life in Maine in the summer!

Once the girls arrive, together we will plan and organize several details, including meals, grocery shopping, hiking, movies, games, arts and crafts and more. We know the Wilton-Farmington area very well, including the Tumbledown/Mount Blue park region, and we will explore it all together! We will integrate cooking, baking, ice cream making, scavenger hunts, and many other simple fun activities.

“Chloë can connect groups of girls seamlessly...she is vigilant about safety and rules but in a way that the girls never questioned...I watched Chloë through the years and trust her immensely and hold her in a special place in my heart because of what she gave my girls.”

“Chloë is very well organized... I have always appreciated how she takes the best from diverse educational models and also tailors activities to different personalities and interests... Chloe also manages to create a tangible culture of respect, tolerance and kindness, and infuses the days with a spirit of wonder.”
