In 2013 we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary!
We are planning a community celebration to mark this grand event and would love to have many former and current campers, counselors, trustees and friends together to celebrate the joys that the camps have brought into our lives.
Please come into Bar Harbor Bank and Trust on Main Street in Blue Hill and see our camp display.
We have camp pictures on display from last summer, as well as our 2011 Fall Newsletter, 2012 Spring Newsletter and "Send a Kid to Camp" Appeal, Nichols Day Camps' Fact Sheets, and copies of the 2012 camper application.
We have a sign up sheet at the display for you to leave your contact information.
Spread the word to friends and family!
Please let us know if you would like to be involved in the planning of our 50th year celebration.
Think how much fun it will be to see old friends and make new memories!!

If you moved away from the area, this is a good time to plan for a vacation trip back home! We would love to show off the camp sites!
Since 2006 we have built a new recreation hall (complete with flush toilets!), new changing rooms on the shore with storage for paddles, oars, life jackets and related waterfront equipment, and we have a new office on site!
There are also beautiful perennial gardens and potable water!!
We have a new, built up Nichols field that is smooth with healthy green grass.
We have an exceptional play ground set from Cedar Works for the Scamp Campers.
This summer there will be a new shelter for the Adventure campers and a new Theater platform for the Theater activities.
The camp sites get better and more attractive every summer!
Come and visit us!!

In 2011 we completed our 48th summer of providing an exceptional outdoor recreational and educational experience for nearly 300 children! We had only two days of rain during camp time! What a summer! Many thanks to our outstanding staff members who dedicated their summer to the fortunate children in our community!!!
