Overnight Camp | Bangor Y

Days until camp!

The Program Aid position is a privilege we offer to the campers who have displayed great responsibility in the CIT and LIT programs they have participated in. You do not have to be an alumni of our CIT and LIT program but it does help.

After you apply for the position of Program Aid we may send you an invitation for either the first half of the summer or the second half of the summer. How many invitations we send out will depend on the number of spaces we have available and not everyone will be able to participate just because they apply.

Traditional Resident Camp

Registration for Camp Jordan 2011 Season opens on October 1, 2010!

One week Sessions: For ages 8-14

This spectacular overnight summer camp is set on 200 beautiful acres on Branch Lake in Ellsworth, Maine. Our program blends traditional camping activities like orienteering, canoeing, archery, environmental education, and swimming with non-traditional programs like movie-making, water tubing, and our High and Low Ropes Adventure course.
Our campers are supervised by an experienced staff of young adults who attend a full week of training at Camp Jordan to fine tune their skills of being a good role model and providing a positive environment for our campers. The staff is certified in First Aid and CPR during staff training. We do extensive training in our emergency procedures to ensure each camper's safety during their stay at Camp Jordan. We maintain a counselor to camper ratio of 1:6 to create the camp magic that makes up each campers experience at Camp Jordan.

Weekend Stay Over

Fees: TBA for each weekend stay over.

Camp Jordan's schedule is made up of five one-week sessions. To accommodate our campers that wish to stay more than one week at a time we offer the option to stay at camp over the weekend between sessions. Our campers enjoy a fun change from the regular schedule of camp while resting up for the coming session. They will enjoy swimming at the waterfront, games at Bennett Field, and a movie night in the King Dining Hall. We also realize that campers may not come to camp with 2 or 3 weeks worth of clothes so we offer to do campers laundry. It's a good idea to mark your campers clothing if they are going to stay more than one week.

Water Tubing

For Ages 11 and up: TBA per week

Camp Jordan offers an exhilarating way to enjoy beautiful Branch Lake. Campers can sign up to take tubing as one of their activity periods each day. A class of 6 tubers would go out on our pontoon boat and take turns riding a tube and having a lot of fun! We do require that campers be 11 years old for their own safety.
