Traditional Resident Camp

2012 Registration is Now Open!

Ages 8-14 sailing
Camp Jordan is set on 200 beautiful acres on Branch Lake in Ellsworth, Maine. Our program blends traditional camping activities like canoeing, archery, environmental education, and swimming with non-traditional programs like movie-making, water tubing, and our High and Low Ropes Challenge Course.

Our campers are supervised by an experienced staff of young adults. All staff members are CPR/First Aid certified and 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. 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 ensure that relationships are built, making each camper's experience unforgettable.

Session 1: July 1- 7
Session 2: July 8 - 14
Session 3: July 15 - 21
Session 4: July 22 -28
Session 5: July 29 - August 4

Weekend Stay Over

$60 per weekend

Camp Jordan's schedule is made up of five one-week sessions. To accommodate our campers who are attending multiple sessions we offer the option to stay at camp over the weekend. 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 realize that campers may not come to camp with 2 or 3 weeks worth of clothes so we will wash your child's laundry on the weekends. It is a good idea to mark your camper's clothing if he/she is going to stay for more than one week.

Session 1-2 (July 7 - July 8)
Session 2-3 (July 14 - July 15)
Session 3-4 (July 21 - July 22)
Session 4-5 (July 28 - July 29)

Water Tubing

For Ages 11 and up: $40

Camp Jordan offers an exhilarating way to enjoy Branch Lake. Campers can sign up to take tubing as one of their activity periods each day. A class of 6 tubers go out on our pontoon boat and take turns riding a tube and having a lot of fun! Because safety is our top priority we require that campers be 11 years old and can swim at our top level. Campers who do not pass the swimming test will be refunded the $40.00 fee.
