VISITING ALC

 

Prospective Families

Visiting Alford Lake Camp is a wonderful way to see our community in action. We encourage families to schedule a visit during our summer session, where you will be taken on a guided tour of our community by a staff member and a camper of similar age to your daughter. This is a great opportunity for your camper to see others living and enjoying life at ALC. You can finish your visit by talking with Sue and Betsy, ALC Directors, who will answer any questions you might have. You can join us anytime during the summer season, just phone or email us at explore@alfordlakecamp.com to set up time.

 

If you can’t make a visit to Maine, we highly encourage you to attend one of our winter Gatherings. Gatherings are attended by campers, alums, families and friends of ALC. We always show a video of our prior summer, and then follow it with a lot of stories and laughter. It will give you the chance to meet our extended family, ask questions, and see more of our Alford Lake community in action during the winter months!

 

Family Camp – for new and returning families

Another great opportunity for families to experience ALC is to join us for Family Camp. Family Camp gives the whole family a chance to spend some wonderful time together, while giving your camper a chance to get comfortable with the surroundings of Alford Lake Camp. You can visit our FAMILY CAMP page for more detailed information on Family Camp this summer, and how you can enroll.

 

Current Camp Families

We welcome your visit any time after the first ten days (aside from July 4th) or before the last five days of your camper’s stay, and ask that you limit your visits to one per session.

We urge you to call ahead to let us know when you plan to visit, since there is always the possibility that your camper may be out of camp on a trip at that particular time.

 

The most convenient visiting times for campers would be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 11AM to 2PM. Please share this information with friends and/or family who might visit your camper.

 

Because of limited space in our dining room, we are unable to invite guests to join us for meals. However, if your visit occurs over a lunch time we suggest that you bring a picnic to share with your camper.  We ask that you limit any “sweets” to desserts only (i.e. brownies or cookies) and that NO candy or gum be brought into camp during visits.

 

Please Note:  Because members of our community have allergies we choose to be a nut educated community.  We ask that you make every effort to not bring any foods or products to camp that contain nuts of any kind or that have been made in factories that process nuts. Please share this information with any friends or family members who might visit your camper.
