Dear Parent;

After spending 10 years visiting overnight camps and teen programs and talking with thousands of families about their children's needs and interests, I created Maine Arts Camp. I grew up attending traditional overnight camps in Maine, but I came to learn that parents today have different needs than my parents had. Many want shorter sessions, a non-competitive environment and an elective schedule. And of course, parents want to know that the person running the camp really cares. After all, they have to trust us with their most precious commodity!

This is my life's passion, which I think is apparent to everyone who visits Maine Arts Camp. In my summer camp referral business, I only work with camps that provide the highest quality programs and environment. Naturally, it's essential for my camp to live up to my own expectations!

Besides our dynamic program and top-notch facilities, our talented staff is the reason our campers have such successful experiences with us. We have a solid base of mature staff members who oversee programs and provide guidance to our talented young adult staff members, many who are training to be educators. Since staff is one of the most important components of a well-run camp, I spend much of the fall and winter traveling the country and interviewing potential staff. I personally call their references and do background checks as well.

I'm so glad you found our web site, and I hope you'll give us a call so we can learn all about your child and see if we might be a good fit. If you're looking for a nurturing environment where your child can be comfortable just being him/herself, there's a good chance you found it!

Best regards,
Rick Mades
