Drive-Thru Luncheon to Benefit Down East Teen Leadership Camp

You are invited to our 5th annual Down East Teen Leadership Camp Drive-Thru Luncheon on Friday, May 16, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Machias Memorial High School.

This delicious luncheon is prepared by the Coastal Washington County Institute of Technology Culinary Arts students. Proceeds from lunch orders will help support the 25th year of Camp, which is this year! 

(You read that right. Down East Teen Leadership Camp has been supporting Washington County youth for 25 YEARS!)

Do you want to enjoy a delicious lunch and support the DETLC at the same time? Save May 16th on your calendars. The menu and order form will be coming soon. -Stay tuned! 

Down East Teen Leadership Camp (DETLC) is Healthy Acadia’s annual, five-day residential summer camp program for teens entering grades 7 through 9. The program primarily serves Washington County youth, though teens from Hancock County and beyond are also welcome to attend as space allows. The vision of Down East Teen Leadership Camp is to empower teens with social, communication, and leadership skills to support emotional resiliency and to deter misuse of substances, including tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. DETLC is deeply impactful for the youth who participate.

See you on May 16th at the DETLC Luncheon!
