Tripping Program Description
Canoeing Lincoln County
Paddling on and near Damariscotta Lake, our home, is special in many ways. Our lake is 12 miles long and much of it is wilderness thanks to an active land trust, generous and environmentally conscious neighbors, and our 2 camps which own or control about 5 miles of the shorefront. Damariscotta Lake is also one of the few lakes which is connected to the ocean via a dam and a fish ladder so we can access the salt water via a short portage into the Damariscotta River. Many wonderful, overnight paddling excursions are available right from camp.
Bremen Landing or Hog Island
Kieve's fourteen acre oceanfront property in Bremen, Maine offers stunning views of Musgongus Bay and the opportunity to test one's overnight camping techniques in a safe and beautiful environment. Bremen trips usually include funyaking around a protected bay, exploring the shoreline, games on the deck, humongus amounts of tasty food, and songs and stories around the campfire accompanied by ever-present S'mores. Hog Island is a 330-acre island right next to our Bremen property that is owned by The Audubon Society and being loaned to Kieve-Wavus for the summer. Only a short paddle from our Bremen property, campers will enjoy an overnight camping trip on this beautiful Island. As caregivers of this Island, Kieve-Wavus is committed to ensuring that this property is maintained. Campers will complete stewardship projects in which they learn about how their actions impact the environment for future generations.
During the day there will be time to explore the island on foot or kayak around the shoreline and learn about our surroundings from curriculum developed by Maine Audubon naturalists. Campers will sleep in tents, cook their meals outdoors and enjoy singing and talking around the campfire in the evening.
