Breakfast is followed by our daily flag raising and a weekly non-sectarian, ethical service organized and delivered by the girls in our three oldest age groups. These services give the older girls a  chance to talk about things like friendship, respect, trust and many others to the younger campers and share their experience and their stories. Upon completion of the service, we all join in an all camp activity before heading into lunch. As Sunday is more of a lazy day, we extend rest hour and have an all-camp activity for the afternoon. Many of these wonderful all- camp activities include. Many of these wonderful all camp activities include, but are not limited to, colorwar teambreak games, a carnival, and special activities planned by our oldest campers, our seniors.

Trip Day is one of the most exciting and rewarding days in the Fernwood Cove weekly program. Fernwood Cove offers our campers an active outdoor tripping program one day a week.  Every Thursday all of our campers and staff go on excursions throughout Maine and New Hampshire. We want the girls to experience the lakes, mountains and quiet byways, (Hiking. Biking, Canoeing) along with the exciting whitewater, rock faces and nature discoveries (climbing, kayaking, ocean, gem mines and woods walking). Qualified staff members accompany each group and any trips that involve aquatic activities are accompanied by a staff member who is First Aid and Lifeguard certified. Sometimes special interest trips are arranged for photography or art. Girls will also be overnight camping and cooking out. As the girls grow older there are specific age group overnights offered. In all cases our intent is to give them a treat and a challenge. Back to Top
