About
What is Camp Connor?
Poland Summer Recreation at Camp Connor is now in its 6th year! Camp Connor is a day camp with approximately 12 acres of land, including a beach front, large field, wooded area, picnic area, playground, peninsula, and buildings. We also have access to our neighbor’s (Camp Tall Pines) basketball court and beachfront for launching our kayaks. Camp Connor is located off of route 26, address: 70 Connor Lane, Poland, ME 04274. (Connor Lane is a dirt road, that provides access to Camp Tall Pines, Poland Spring Campground and a few residents.)
We offer a fun and safe outdoor and waterfront experience for children grades 1-8. The majority of our time will be spent alternating through small group activities, utilizing our recreational field, picnic area, trails, and waterfront. Activities include outdoor life skills, team building, sports and games, arts and crafts, music, kayaking etc. All campers will have the opportunity to swim each day! Our themes for each week may offer different and special activities, which may include on-site guests and special activities on Friday afternoon. All campers will have the opportunity to develop connections with same-aged peers and our well-trained and engaged staff, while ensuring proper safety protocols.
Mission
It is the goal of our program to provide the children of our community an environment where they are safe, supervised and motivated to participate in age-appropriate activities. Our objective is to promote good citizenship and a sense of community spirit through a fun and social atmosphere. At Camp Connor, we provide our campers with the opportunity to develop healthy relationships with their friends and peers in their community!
Values
Every morning at camp we review our camp values:
Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Choose Kindness and
Be A Team Player/Teamwork!
Throughout the day, we model, reinforce and remind our campers of these values.
We will most definitely be back. Our children had an AMAZING time! Thank you to all staff that made this summer fun possible
