AUGUSTA — The lottery for spaces at Camp North Woods, a summer camp for children ages 9 to 13, held at Bryant Pond, is open until April 6.
Camp will again be hosted by the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond, and camp staff and instructors will include Maine Game Wardens, Fisheries and Wildlife Biologists, Recreational Safety Coordinators, Information and Education staff as well as staff from Bryant Pond.
The camp for children 9-11 will be held July 15-20 and a co-ed overnight camp for children ages 11-13 is planned for July 29-August 3.
Each week will accommodate 100 campers and will provide hands-on learning opportunities in outdoor-related activities in a safe and comfortable environment. Campers will be joined by their parents or guardians for the last day (Friday) of camp for a family field day.
Because there are a limited number of spaces at Camp North Woods, a chance lottery will be held on April 11. Campers may enter the drawing for a chance to attend Camp North Woods if they have not attended camp before and will be at least 9 years of age by July 15, and no older than 13 on Aug. 3. Each child may enter the drawing only once.
The entry fee is $5 and all proceeds will go to support Camp North Woods. Both residents and non-residents may apply and lottery winners will be composed of 70 percent Maine residents and 30 percent non-residents and 50 percent boys and 50 percent girls.
If selected in the lottery, the registration fee is $435 for Maine residents and $635 for non-residents and includes meals, lodging and instruction for the week. The deadline to apply for the lottery is April 6 at 11:59 p.m.
