Summer Camp of Dangerous Deeds and Derring-Do

Cost: $150 or $125 (BYO lunch), Friends of Lake Thoreau: $135 or $115 (BYO lunch)

What if there was a summer camp that let your kids be kids? Remember when kids played outside all day and were never bored? Remember when kids only came back home in the summer at dinner time? This camp reintroduces kids to the forgotten art of how to have fun outside and be independent. We'll teach them how to make and break things. Have you ever thought about what would happen to a watermelon if you dropped it off a 10-story building? Have you ever wondered how far you could throw a raw egg? Of course you have! Our campers will answer those questions and will discover many more universal truths as we let them revel in the joy of childhood. These camps are based on the books The Dangerous Book for Boys and The Daring Book for Girls.

This camp is a day camp that meets each at the Lake Thoreau Environmental Center. we will take field trips each day in USM vehicles to visit local sites. Check-in will be between 7:30 and 8:30 A.M. each day, and checkout will occur between 4:45 and 5:30 P.M.
