We will offer an incentive to any Mainewoods camper 18-24 years old to attend camp with a $300 discount and we ask that they participate up to 2 hours per day in some camp activity.**

Discount #3: Bring a New* Camper to Mainewoods

Discount #4: Sponsor Indian Acres/Forest Acres camper

*We will offer an incentive for a Mainewoods camper to bring (sponsor) either a first-time camper or one who last attended camp in 2004 or earlier. Sponsor must have attended Mainewoods in 2005 or more recently.   Sponsor gets a $100 discount.   If you sponsor more than one person you may claim multiple $100 discounts. (Discount paid after both the sponsor and new camper have completed their sessions.)

For the 2010 summer season, any adult who has previously attended Mainewoods Dance Camp and who refers a child at either Indian Acres Camp for Boys or Forest Acres Camp for Girls, both of Fryeburg Maine, and that child attends camp, will receive a credit for a full week for one person in a double cabin at Mainewoods Dance Camp for 2010 paid by Indian Acres or Forest Acres. In addition, Indian Acres or Forest Acres will make a donation of $210 directly to Mainewoods Dance Camp.

**We at Mainewoods have discovered that some of the most memorable times at camp, are those spent participating with other campers and teachers in a range of activities related to cultural enrichment and group participation. For those who are requesting a Discount, we are requesting that they agree as a condition for the Discount to participate in some of these cultural activities. The New Camper Discount of $200 would entail up to 1 hour per day in such activities; the Young Adult Discount of $300 would entail up to 2 hours per day in such activities. Typical of these cultural enrichment activities would be to serve on an ethnic day committee and associated committee activities with a teacher, help decorate for an ethnic day, or help prepare an ethnic meal.

Accommodations Details:
(All accommodations are subject to availability.)

Three Per Cabin Rate: To facilitate the assignment of roommates, the three person cabin option is restricted to a single gender per cabin, unless all three campers register together for coed accommodations.

Four Per Cabin Rate: For this option, all four campers must register together. Call your friends, get a group together, and save some money! (All four campers must attend the same session for this rate to apply. If any of the four must cancel, the cabin rate for the number attending will apply.)

Off-Site Accommodations: For campers who would prefer alternate or less rustic accommodations, Mainewoods has room for a limited number of campers who would like to arrange to stay off-site. Click here for more information.

For those not driving to camp: A convenient and inexpensive option for travel to camp is taking a bus to Conway, NH (only 20 minutes from camp!) Current schedules and fares are available at the Greyhound website. Concord Coach Lines also has bus service to Conway from Boston and Manchester.

Portland is over an hour drive each way, so we encourage non-driving campers to make Conway, NH their destination, rather than Portland if at all possible. Your Mainewoods volunteers are stretched very thin, and trips to Portland become quite time-consuming and take us away from the work that needs to be done at camp. For those who are flying, a flight to Boston with a bus to Conway could be a good way to go. Mainewoods will charge a pick-up/drop-off fee of $30.00 per person each way for a Portland trip or $10.00 per person each way for a Conway trip.

Start and End Times: The Registration Desk opens at 3:30 PM on Sunday. Cabins will not be available until after this time, as we need the early afternoon for cleaning. Camp begins with a welcoming reception at 6:30 PM followed by dinner and dancing. Camp ends after Saturday breakfast. You may stay and enjoy the facilities, but you must vacate your cabin by mid-morning so that it can be cleaned and prepared for the next occupants.

Saturday Stays: For those campers who are staying for consecutive sessions, there is no charge for the Saturday “bridge” day, but no lunch or dinner will be served. Information about nearby lodging is available for those of you who would like to stay in Maine on a Saturday night before or after a camp session. Click here for local accommodations.

Children: Children are always welcome, but there are no scheduled activities for them. Parents/Guardians will be responsible for supervising their children at all times. Please note that there is no lifeguard at the river. A lifeguard will be on duty at the pool for selected hours.

To Register: Simply fill out the Registration Form, and mail it with your deposit to the address on the form. Registrants from foreign countries please pay in US dollars by money order. Please make checks payable to Mainewoods Dance Camp, Inc.  Please note that Mainewoods cannot accept credit cards.


Deposit & Cancellation Policy:

If you send in a deposit and must cancel, a $25 processing fee will be deducted from the applicable refund, except if you qualify as an "Early Bird." Early Birds must have their applications with deposits postmarked by May 31, 2010, to have the refund processing fee waived.

In addition, a $75 late cancellation fee will be withheld if notice of cancellation is received less than 30 days prior to the start of your session. No refund for a cancellation on or after the start date of your session.


Non-Profit Status:

We are officially a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. If you wish to make a much-appreciated donation, it will be tax-deductible. Please see our Membership/Donation Form.


Mainewoods Membership:

We look forward to having our campers and supporters become members of Mainewoods Dance Camp. In addition to regular donations, by becoming a Mainewoods Member you are not only supporting the organization financially, but each member has a chance - two chances for family memberships - to win the value of a half-price week of camp at the double occupancy rate, and when at camp, a chance for the weekly drawing for a free t-shirt or comparable item from our store. The annual fee is only $30 per single or $45 per family, and our membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. The drawing for the free weekend takes place in the fall, and the winner will be announced in "Mainewoods Memories." Please see our Membership/Donation Form or our Registration Form to renew or join.
