Camp Stella Maris Inc - Resident Camp
An experience to remember for a lifetime! From first-timers to third generation campers, the Camp Stella Maris resident camp offers a unique and exciting values-based camping environment. Children enjoy the outdoors, make friends, learn new skills, as well as challenge themselves spiritually, emotionally and physically - an opportunity for personal growth while having lots of fun!
Our resident campers are divided into 5 age divisions. All divisions take part in programming from Adventure, Arts and Nature, Ballfield, Spiritual and Waterfront, our five program areas. Our youngest three divisions all take part in swimming lessons and can also choose from a variety of activities within the five areas. Some of our programs include low ropes, surviving the outdoors, jewelry making, drama and improv, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, fishing, etc.
For our older divisions, campers will have the opportunity to sign up for additional programs. The basic skills for the beginner through experienced enthusiast are taught in camp's water skiing and sailing programs. If adventure and a challenge are calling out to you, try our high ropes or extreme high ropes program. For campers who have an artistic side, pottery allows you to create a masterpiece. And if you want to try a classic summer camp activity, there's archery.
