The old timers
french summer camp language learn immersion Maine camps
For
more than 60 years, Camp Tekakwitha, a french-speaking summer camp,
has retained a family atmosphere by welcoming small groups. No more than
120 campers, age
8 to 13 and 72 teenagers, age 14 to 17 are present during
a session. Teenagers, called "Pioneers", are regrouped in their
own sector but are still an integral part of camp life.
This
summer camp offers a wide variety of activities that take full advantage of its magnificent
nature surroundings. In addition, a lot of special events such as a day at the ocean,
camping, circus, Olympics etc. are part of the program
The
Pioneers stay centers on a 7 to 17 day hike on the famous Appalachian Trail. This
offers a challenge that every teenager will be proud to undertake.
All
campers and Pioneers are housed with their counselor in heated cabins in groups of
10 to 12.
Camp
Tekakwitha's staff has always been selected in accordance with very high standards.
Each and everyone must have the children's particular needs as their constant concern.
A ratio of more than one staff member for every three children is attained.
Camp
Tekakwitha is inspected by authorities from the state of Maine and by the Quebec
Camp Association. Camp Tekakwitha has always been given the very highest marks by both organizations.
Between
65 and 70% of our campers do come back. It is one of the highest return rate of any
summer camp!!
