At NEMC, we believe that musical growth must be complemented by a balanced emphasis on recreation and the social development of each camper. Our students share great times and make lasting friendships.
Recreation
NEMC’s recreational complex boasts three tennis courts, a soccer field, two softball diamonds, volleyball and badminton courts, archery range, and basketball court. Aerobics, dramatics, and physical fitness are other recreational options. Highly qualified lifeguards and water safety instructors coordinate lessons and recreational swimming. We also offer instruction in sailing and canoeing for beginning through advanced levels.
Social Activities
A camp council elected by campers design the social activities for the following year. We are always updating and improving our offerings. Programs vary throughout each month. These events are designed opportunities for campers to make new friends. Activities include carnivals, talent shows, cabin song competitions, dances, games, ice cream parties, and more. Campers enjoy frequent cookouts, barbecues, and picnics. Campfires at the edge of the lake where they sing songs together, tell stories, and watch gorgeous sunsets as darkness falls. Some evenings are devoted to jazz participation and others to dramatic presentations by campers. Optional activities include hanging out at the canteen or playing board games.
Enjoying the Beauty of Maine
Monday is a “vacation day” when campers may take part in canoe trips, mountain climbing, a day at the ocean, bowling, sight-seeing—even an afternoon at a popular disco. These exciting events offer campers the chance to fully enjoy the beauty of Maine.
