I think about camp all the time and my memories of singing in OTW and sitting with my friends under the trees. I remember looking up to the older girls, looking forward to being in 1AB and being a role model for the younger campers. Tripp Lake has left me with some of the most incredible memories that I will keep forever.

Tripp Lake Camp... what can I say, some of the fondest memories of my life. Experiences that made me who I am today. There was no question I would send my daughter to the Promised Land! To share in the 100 years of traditional ME camping at its finest. I get chills when hearing the cheers. Tears come to my eyes when I watch the summer video and pass by 5 corners just as I arrive at camp on visiting Day. Tripp Lake Camp is simply Maine to me. It's still the same. The natural beauty, the cool lake. Doing triangles of the dock the first days of camp, Little and big team swim meets. Sailing a sunfish, tipping your canoe. Learning to water ski for the first time. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else. My mother, sister and 11 year old daughter in her 4th year wouldn't have it any other way!

I am not only a parent of two campers in Maine but also an alumni of Tripp Lake Camp in Poland, Maine. Just like my mother, aunts and cousins before me. There was never any doubt that my daughter (and son) would spend their summers away at camp in Maine. My camp experience is still held near and dear to my heart and it is the same for both of my children now. Each summer has been a growing experience for both of my kids in different ways. Camp is a place where they can be independent in a safe and loving environment. They are unplugged, away from the noise of the internet. But it isn't just about being away at camp, it is where they are away at camp. There is nothing like the sweet smell of pine in that Maine air or doing a cannonball into a lake. Maine is a world away. It is 3000 miles from where we live and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My oldest daughter is finishing up her last year at Tripp Lake Camp. Both my daughters now say that Maine is their home away from home. My children have had incredible experiences and opportunities to make them feel connected to the camp and the state. Tripp Lake, located in Poland is a very special place. A place that fosters traditions, sisterhood and spirit. Their very special camp experience has molded them into caring, empathetic and independent young women. Through camp, my girls have had the opportunity to explore some of the beautiful beaches in Maine. They have wonderful memories of Old Orchard, Popham and Ongonquit beaches. The trips to Camden and Bar Harbour made them feel even more connected to Maine. In my opinion, what makes camp in Maine and especially Tripp Lake, is the beautiful lake and trees and tranquility. There is no place other than Tripp Lake in Maine where I would want my children to have their special camp memories.
