Down East Teen Leadership Camp Will Offer Overnight Program this Summer
Machias. Registration is open for Healthy Acadia’s Down East Teen Leadership Camp, a five-day residential summer program for teens entering grades 7-9. This year's Camp will be held July 22-26, 2024, at Cobscook Institute in Trescott.
Down East Teen Leadership Camp (DETLC), now in its 24th year, challenges and empowers teens to make healthy choices, build social connections, and positively impact their lives and those in their communities. DETLC offers a safe and fun environment for teens to be themselves, form long-lasting friendships, and build confidence and leadership skills. Generous support from community members, local businesses, and grantors will allow Healthy Acadia to offer Camp at the low price of $295 per camper. Tuition includes five days of programs and activities, as well as meals, snacks, and overnight accommodations. Full and partial scholarships are available for families based on need.
Camp staff are enthusiastically planning a fun-filled week for campers. Teens who attend will enjoy healthy snacks, games, inspiring presentations, connecting with peers, and interactive learning workshops. “We are overjoyed to again offer this overnight camp experience for area teens,” said Camp Director Sara McConnell.
Washington County teens entering grades 7-9 this fall who would like to attend Camp and their parents or caregivers can learn more and register online at bit.ly/detlc. Space is limited, and early registration is strongly encouraged. For more information contact Sara McConnell at (207) 255-3741 or by email at sara@healthyacadia.org.
