Portland, ME (PRWEB) March 10, 2015 -- Forget the snow and arctic blasts … the 100 day countdown to summer camp is on! The week of March 16 marks the countdown to the start of summer camp, which begins the week of June 21 (first days range from June 21-28), and kids everywhere are cheering with summer in sight.    

“Summer camp is often kids’ ‘happy place’ – their home away from home where they will unplug from technology, unwind from the pressures of school, connect with nature, make new friends, learn new skills, have fun, and so much more,” said Laurie, the Campcierge™, Maine Camp Experience.    

Camp is where kids set and achieve goals, try new things, value being part of a group, take responsibility, and develop social skills. From camp, kids emerge more confident, capable and considerate.
