At Laurel South, you'll participate in group activities and team sports and also develop your individual talents. You'll spend one-on-one time with tennis, baseball and swimming instructors, have an arts lesson or theater rehearsal and go on special out-of-camp trips with small groups. Our staff help you choose your activities in order for you to get the most out of camp.


Your schedule is tailor-made for you, with the assistance of a staff member. There is ample time, however, during the day and at evening programs for cabin and group interaction, as we foster this type of development as our first priority. Campers 6th grade and younger are scheduled into swimming instruction, tennis lessons and two team sports. As you get older, you will have more freedom of choice in your schedule.


Every fifth day, we have a Special Day, or "S" Day, at Laurel South. During an "S" Day, you can wake up late and have a special buffet breakfast. There is a special in-camp program -- bumper tubing on the lake, Carnival Day, athletic leagues, capture the flag, etc. -- which takes the place of your regular activities. You also go on out-of-camp trips to the beach, water parks or other scenic destinations along the Maine coast. Top of Page

Throughout the summer, you have the option of participating in Intercamps and Tournaments against other camps in activities like tennis, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, softball, basketball, sailing and swimming. There are no "try-outs" - you don't have to "make the cut" to be on the team. Even though we "play to win," we also play to have fun. Our idea of "winning" is to be well prepared, try your best, feel good about yourself and have a great time! Top of Page
