| Junior Kieve Parent's
Weekend: Introductory Session
We encourage parents to visit during Parent’s
Weekend at the end of each session. This is a time to reunite
with your son and meet the other campers and counselors who
have been his community for the past month.
We show slides of the session, open many
activities including the waterfront and ropes course, give
awards to each boy, and feed hundreds of hungry families who
have been on the road to reach Kieve. It is a perfect time
for parents and siblings to enjoy the natural beauty and restfulness
of a Maine summer at Kieve.
Please view Directions
to Camp for detailed directions.
Please note: If you are arriving
on Friday afternoon/evening, you may want to
consider avoiding the likely traffic bottleneck on Rt 1 in
Wiscasset and take an alternate route. A reasonable
alternative is to take Rt 126 from Gardiner (just
south of Augusta) to Rt 213 (near Wavus) and drive around the base of
Damariscotta Lake on Rt 215. More details are available on the directions
page.
The JK weekend schedule
for Saturday, July 12th / August 9th is:

around. |
