Wyonegonic welcomes parents to visit and our policy is meant to support your visit. We like you to see your child in activities and meet her friends. We want you to have fun too. Please realize that many campers do not have visitors and for those that do, the adjustment after a visit may be difficult. A short outing away from camp for ice cream, a meal or shopping may be appreciated by your daughter. Bridgton and North Conway are resort towns and local resources are stretched during mid-summer when many area camps have “parent weekends.” Therefore, we encourage you to visit during the week if your schedule allows.
- We request 10 days to acclimate your camper to Wyonegonic before visitation is open. Visitation schedule: Session I July 7th through July 19th; Session II July 30th through August 11th; Full session July 7th through August 11th.
- Enter by the main entrance on Route 117 past the riding stables. For Senior Camp, use the left fork down the hill and park near the riflery range. For Intermediate and Junior, use the right fork down the hill and park next to the Intermediate Wiggie. Check in with your daughter’s Unit Director when you arrive.
- Pets are not welcome in camp. You may exercise your pet in the upper fields near the canoe trailers.
- Campers are permitted visits with immediate family and can leave camp one time each session. Therefore, seven week campers may have one visit each session.
- If parents are not visiting, we must have written permission in advance from the parent if a relative chooses to take the child out of camp for an outing.
- Please do not ask to take other campers with you.
- See that your camper follows the sign-out procedure in her respective unit.
- Please exercise good judgment in what she eats out of camp, as we hope to keep our Health Center free of unnecessary upset tummies.
- Please see that your daughter is back in camp by the following times: Junior 7:45 PM; Intermediate 8:15 PM; Senior 8:45 PM. Please do not request that your daughter stay out overnight. It is not permitted.
- We are a smoke-free environment. Please, no smoking on our property.
- Please notify the office well in advance of your visit so we can make sure your daughter is here when you arrive. Our out-of-camp trip program is a 7-days a week activity, but heaviest during the week.
- Parents/relatives are welcome to visit campers in camp and join them for mid-day buffet lunch or Saturday evening BBQ dinner (weather permitting). We want you to enjoy camp. You are welcome to go for a swim, a boat ride, a game of tennis. You may be on the water with permission of the counselor on duty. We ask that ALL guests wear a life preserver for watercraft equipment.
- Check the local Chamber of Commerce for places to stay or visit our Lodging Section for more information. Many local motels require a three-night minimum in July and August because of demand. Campgrounds are also available on Long Lake, Sebago Lake or the Saco River.
- As stated by the American Camp Association, staff members may not accept tips or gifts from parents.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Please share these policies with family members or relatives who might be visiting.
