Summer Camp Programs 2024
Like bagels need cream cheese, kids need camp. Bar Harbour Camp strives to provide a safe and inclusive space, offering a variety of high-quality, rustic-feeling camping programs for campers ages 6-17.
At Bar Harbour Camp you will experience smaller, more intimate sized camps- perfect for creating friendships and memories you’ll carry with you for years.
In each one of our camps, you’ll get to experience some camp basics including crafts, canoeing, wide games, gaga ball, swimming in the lake, campfire, learning a little bit about God, and of course great food!

Participants are required to attend staff training and commit to working at least one camp (excluding Youth Camp).
