Can Do Attitude Session Update from Camp:

CCS announced on Wednesday, May 20th that we WILL be hosting camp this summer! Under Maine guidelines we will be able to operate in a way that ensures the safety of our campers & staff. Per current Maine state guidelines we are limited to the number of bunks we can make available.

We are committed to running a program that protects all our campers, staff, and families. We've develop a program that meets the challenges of social distancing and behavior, cleanliness, and sanitation. We have adjusted some of our programming and protocols to meet the state requirements and to follow all CDC guidelines. We shifted our dates and program lengths to accommodate Maine’s Resident Camp Guidelines.
We will be: (this list is a broad overview of some modifications)

Instituting a 14 day (on campus) staff quarantine prior to opening day
Adjusting our mealtime protocol
Increasing our cleaning frequency
Limiting our camp size (including campers & staff)
Communicating and implementing CDC and Maine guidelines with camp families
Increasing our fresh air programming

We are looking forward to many sun and fun-filled days this summer!

Camp Life

Camp CenterStage provides campers and staff an opportunity to explore what they love (various forms of the arts) all while participating in character-building experiences! A day at CCS is equal to 3 days anywhere else. Campers attend daily studios of their choice and rotate through singing, dancing and workshops sessions which allow them to explore a variety of arts based as well as traditional camping experiences.

Campers share in community living by sharing a cabin with other campers, a CIT (counselor in training) and counselor. Our days are filled with opportunities to learn life-long skills, hone crafts, explore new experiences and support each other! Building community is what we do best here at CCS. Our campers extend the skills gained at camp well beyond their Maple Lane experience.

Campers are encouraged to set daily and camp-long goals and meet with their mentors on a daily basis to set out steps to accomplish these goals. Every day campers have the opportunity to swim, sing, dance, make friends, hike, act, play games and make new friends.

Happy Campers

"Thank you again for another incredible summer. So much joy, energy and creativity on the part of the staff and kids. I said to my son over ice cream yesterday that the amount of fun packed into 12 days is unbelievable - he wholly agreed, and he said it was an even better summer than last year!"

"A few days from the close of CCS for 2014, it seems appropriate to send you all our thanks (again). The CCS family wrapped another flawless session. Every year it seems to just keep improving. It is remarkable what you do with the the group in less than 2 weeks."

"Today was the first day back at school and I see that confidence from CCS carried over into her daily school experience. That's why I send her there; it's why you guys do what you do.
And you do it SO WELL."

"My word for this CCS community would be 'Compassion'. So much love and care was put into this camp and there was not a single day that was never filled with joy, smiles, laughter and most importantly the warm hugs we all know and enjoy. We had compassion towards each other but also towards the nature around us."
