Dates & Rates
Cedar Ridge offers a variety of session lengths for campers aged 6-16. Half-Month Sessions allow campers enough time to try each program activity at least once and afford the opportunity for campers to settle into the camp routine. Our Full-Month Session combines the two July sessions into a full four-week camp experience. Campers who choose the Full-Month Session will have multiple opportunities at each program activity, additional leadership opportunities, and will get special programming during the gap between the July Half-Month Sessions. Mini Sessions provide a great experience and introduction to camp for younger campers, however, due to the number of activities at camp, we cannot guarantee that Mini Session campers will get to participate in each one.
The Leader in Training (LIT) Program is available for campers beginning the year they turn 16 until the year they turn 17 and provides an excellent opportunity to develop leadership skills and to get involved in camp in a leadership capacity. The 5 Week LIT session includes a multi-day canoe trip and experience working with a cabin group and with activities. The 2 Week LIT session includes an overnight stay at the Madawaska river and guided exposure to the different elements of leadership at camp.
*For the LIT Program* Due to the number of spaces available in, and the popularity of, the LIT Program, participants in the program will be admitted on an application basis. When applying for the LIT program, please register for the waiting list and fill out the LIT Application Form along with all other paperwork. We will be in touch with the families of candidates admitted into the program for next steps.

**Explorers (12-13 years old) and Voyageurs (14-15 years old) staying for 2 or more weeks are guaranteed to go on an overnight excursion to Palmer Rapids– a camping and whitewater paddling site located on the Lower Madawaska River. This excursion focuses on camping skills, learning to paddle in whitewater, and team building. Many campers tell us that the river excursion is a “top memory” from camp! A charge of $40 for this excursion is included in the registration fee for all 2 week campers and $80 for 4 week campers. Mini Session campers who are able to attend the overnight trip will have a $40 charge added to their account.
