The best way to explore an MCE camp is to come and visit with your child, preferably the summer before enrolling. Camp tours offer families an in-depth understanding of each camp’s philosophy, directors, staff, campers and facilities. An in-season camp visit is a great experience, requires very little planning and provides a wonderful opportunity to plan an incredible Maine vacation.

Be sure to call ahead to speak with a director to determine what tour dates are available. MCE camps typically offer private tours designed to optimize the visit and show as much of the camp in action as possible. MCE camps are flexible with scheduling tours and welcome families to visit at their convenience.

An MCE tour allows families to interact with campers and staff and explore the magnificent campus and waterfront setting. Families also enjoy spending one-on-one time with campers and hearing about their love for their camp and for Maine.
