Summits is more than simply a summer experience!
Our Summit Leadership Program gives campers who have completed 10th grade the best of both worlds—being part of everyday life at The Cove while taking on new adventures, leadership opportunities and meaningful community service projects throughout Maine.
Summits participate in camp activities and traditions while also heading off camp for hands-on service experiences, outdoor adventures and special trips designed just for them. Along the way, they build confidence, independence, teamwork and leadership skills while making a real impact in the communities around us.
My favorite part of the summer was the Summits Trips. I enjoyed every bit of the last two weeks because I got to experience and try new things that many summer camps do not offer.
