Date: Thursday, March 19th Time: 9:00AM-3:00PM Where: Thompson's Point, Portland Best For: Grades K-2 Maximum Group Size: 10 We love this location because of the endless opportunities to get creative juices flowing with building projects, scavenger hunts, games, STEM and most importantly... time to play with friends. Camp will include a half day visit at the Portland Children's Museum. Maine Outdoor Kids' outdoor education programs are designed to support your child’s growth and confidence. We create a balance between offering independence and providing guidance, allowing children to explore, take initiative, and challenge themselves in a supportive environment. Creativity, problem-solving, and social connection are at the heart of everything we do. Our team is there to guide activities, offer meaningful choices, and encourage thoughtful exploration—all in a setting that inspires curiosity: the outdoors. Nearly all of our programs take place entirely outside (winter full-day camps are the exception), which means we avoid time lost in transit and maximize our time in nature. Rain or shine, we’re outside—helping kids build resilience, confidence, and a positive relationship with all kinds of weather. Before each program, we’ll connect with caregivers to ensure every child arrives prepared with the right clothing, gear, and meals. With intentionally small group sizes, we’re able to stay flexible—adapting to each child’s needs, the weather, and the opportunities each location offers. This also allows us to form strong, meaningful connections with every camper. We make space each day for environmental learning, unstructured play, collaborative games, hands-on building, crafting, and adventurous physical activity.
