Kieve is getting ready for Maine summer camp season—are you?
Nancy Kennedy, the wonderful new director of Wavus summer camp for girls, traveled with me from Maine to visit members of the Kieve-Wavus camp community this winter. We had a blast. We enjoyed it so much that we’re planning Spring Welcome to Summer Camp barbecues in a few cities, so bookmark our new Kieve-Wavus camp blog for updates.
Thankfully most of our campus renovations are now complete, so summer camp will look very much the same. The boys and girls arriving for camp may notice some fun new summer camping activities, however. One new camp program we’ve added is much more extensive, off-site outdoor rock climbing adventures. Kieve has also upgraded some of our sailing fleet and plan to hold regattas at each summer camp.
My dad, Dick Kennedy, recently turned 80 years old. Very soon the camp bell that he and our family erected in his twin brother’s honor and memory will toll. Waking campers up, calling us to summer camp activities, swims and meals, and reminding us of the many people who created the Kieve camps we all now love.
In the spirit of the Kieve Wavus summer, please study hard, play your athletics to the best of your ability and as good sportsmen, and get ready for an incredible time together on Damariscotta Lake. It will be great to see you!
Henry Kennedy, Executive Director
