Introductory Session 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 with her cabin and community
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.
