About Us:
OAC: Outdoor Adventure Camp is a day camp through the Carrabassett Valley Recreation Department. We operate for 6 weeks in the summer, providing camp experiences to children ages 5-13. Camp’s “Base Camp” is the Carrabassett Valley Riverside park.
Camp activities may include swimming, tennis, golf, wall climbing, water sports, cooperative and competitive field and ball games; arts and crafts; hiking and mountain biking; dramatics; weekly themes covering environmental awareness; ecology, local heritage, nature, and weather. We hope to familiarize the children with all that makes our corner of the world so special, share lots of fun and laughter, and build their self-confidence. We want to empower them to better “Live in the outside” and be avid environmental stewards.
