Pilgrim Lodge Summer Camp
What are you doing this summer? The Maine Conference of the United Church of Christ has a beautiful summer camp on Lake Cobbosseecontee in West Gardiner, Maine. Over the course of the summer there are programs for kids and adults of all ages. You can read more about it at pilgrimlodge.org, or talk to our Pilgrim Lodge “jumper,” Lori Whittemore, or to Rev. Martha Hoverson. Brochures and schedules are available online, but please let us know if you need help getting a printed copy.
Pilgrim Lodge is not only in a gorgeous setting, but it is extremely well-run, earning the highest accreditation scores from the American Camp Association.
To encourage participation by young people from First Parish, the Deacons are offering scholarships to help defray the expense of camp tuition. Please contact Rev. Kent Allen or Rev. Martha Hoverson to apply.
