Camp Somerset for Girls

Somersault appreciation post 🤸‍♀️🤩

Each session, we have a gymnastics show for the whole camp. Our campers in gymnastics intensives show off the hard work they've been putting in for weeks in solo, duo, and group routines.

The tumbling will always impress us! 👏

Costumes at camp are always a good idea.😉 Happy Halloween from all of us at Camp Somerset! 🎃👻

Happy International Day of the Girl!

Celebrating our campers and girls everywhere today and every day! ❤️💙

Imagine an entire summer camp taking over an amusement park… 🎡

Well, that’s exactly what we did! Check out these photos from our camp-wide trip to Funntown! The girls had an absolute blast.🌟

Changeover trips! 🚌🗺

Our full-Somer campers go on these trips between Session 1 and Session 2 at camp while we prepare for new camper arrivals! This year’s changeover trips included:

🐻 Den: Aquaboggan water park and a trip to the beach!
🦌 Lower Deer Trail: Aquaboggan and Monkey C Monkey Do for some adventure sports.
🦌 Upper Deer Trail: Beach day followed by a trip to Splashtown.
🌳 Lower Grove: A visit to Moxie Outdoor Adventures for kayaking and rafting.
🌲 Upper Grove: Lobster boat, Portland, and a beach day.
🏠 Hideaway: Annual trip to Canada!

Any ideas for next year? 🤔 Drop them in the comments!

It’s trip week! All week long we're taking a look back at our trips this past summer. 😎

And, to kick off, we are recapping our first trip of Somer '24!

🐰 Little Den embarked on a hike, visited the Maine Children’s Museum, and stopped for ice cream.
🐻 Lower Den visited Dig Maine Gems and stopped for ice cream.
🐼 Upper Den and Lower Deer Trail visited the , played mini golf, and stopped for ice cream.
🦌 Upper Deer Trail went to Moxie Outdoor Adventures for tubing.
🌲 Grove and Hideaway visited Old Orchard Beach and adventured around Portland!

(In case you can't tell, ice cream is essential on trip days. 🍦)

Somerset takes the stage!

Whether working behind the scenes or starring in a show, performing arts are a huge part of camp. We put on four shows throughout the summer, and it is an opportunity for a camper to step outside her comfort zone, find her voice, and shine bright. 🌟

Being a part of our plays and musicals offers lessons in teamwork, sacrifice, and commitment. With our brand new Playhouse opening this past summer, cheering on our friends in performing arts has been that much more fun! 🎶

Our mission is simple: empower, encourage, and inspire our campers. ✨

It's just something about East Pond 🌊🚣🏊‍♀️⛵

Whether splashing around at lakefront, trying their hand at waterskiing, kayaking, or practicing their swimming technique in the pool, our aquatics are always a hit with our campers!

The Somerset Rings are what we live by at camp. 🌲

We want our girls to take healthy risks and try new things. We want them to fall down and feel the satisfaction that comes with getting back up again. We want her to put her arm around a friend in need and welcome one in return.

And, above all else, we want her to be completely, and totally, HERSELF! ✨

Just a dash of healthy competition 😎

Between instructionals, The League, and the Somer Cup, athletics are a big part of camp! Athletics give our campers a chance to compete, collaborate, and an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Competition allows our girls to learn to win and lose with grace.

It's all about giving it your all! 👏

Thinking about the laughs, the splashes, and the wipeouts on East Pond this past summer. Who's ready to do it all over again next year? 🌊

S'more Somerset, please! We mix in a few classic camping activities during the summer too. 😉🏕️

This is your sign to have a little extra dessert today... Happy Friday! 😉🍨

That first-day feeling 🌟

It's officially back-to-school season. All this talk of the first day of school has us missing the first day of camp this summer! We'll see you next June. 👋

We wish everyone an amazing school year! 📚✏️🎒

Gold medals but make it summer camp 🥇

The Olympics may have wrapped up a couple weeks ago, but we can't talk enough about all the INCREDIBLE women who dominated this year! It's inspiring to learn their stories and see their hard work come to fruition. We hope our campers feel inspired by them too. 🌟

Representation matters, and we love seeing strong women succeed!

Be honest. Is it too soon to say we miss ? 🥹

Well... we do. ❤💙
