Parent's Weekend
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.

Weekend has a slightly different schedule.
The schedule for is:
