Clients:  Local and visiting children entering grades 1 through 9.
Services:  EcoVenture is a unique summer day camp founded by the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust in 1998. Funded through grants and the generosity of Trust members, it is available to local and visiting children entering grades 1 through 9.EcoVenture is dedicated to providing campers with a variety of fun and exciting outdoor learning activities. Guided by our dedicated staff, the activities will: Awaken camper curiosity about nature. Engage the hearts of campers as they explore and connect to the natural world. Develop a stewardship ethic as campers begin to understand the impacts their choices have upon the rest of our natural world. Each camp day brings a variety of age-appropriate activities including hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, low ropes challenges, nature-based games and workshops, art and music. The older campers also go on exciting overnight trips in the Rangeley region where they have fun while learning low impact camping skills. Campers bring their own lunch each day and are asked to dress and bring personal supplies based on the activities planned (swim suits, sunblock, etc.)
Fees:  EcoVenture has become tremendously popular and has tripled its number of campers. As in past years, we provide camp free of charge except for a small registration fee (the fee is $50 for the first camper in a family and $25 for each additional camper). The registration fee can be waived if it presents a financial hardship. Please contact us for information.
Hours:  Campers entering 1st through 5th grade meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:45 to 3:00 and campers entering 6th through 9th grade meet on Thursdays and Fridays from 8:45 to 3:30. Bus transportation from Oquossoc, Rangeley, Dallas and Sandy River, will be provided on all 4 days.
