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 daughter
and meet the other campers and counselors who have been part of
her life for the past month.
We show slides of the session, open many activities including the
waterfront and ropes course, give awards to each girl, and feed
hundreds of hungry families who have been on the road to reach Wavus.
It is a perfect time for parents and siblings to enjoy the natural
beauty and restfulness of a Maine summer at the Wavus Camp for Girls.
Please click here 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 right near Wavus.
More details are available on the directions page.
