Typical
Day

Our friendly and experienced staff will meet and greet campers at L.L.Bean’s Flagship Store. From there, campers will be shuttled to L.L.Bean Kids’ Camp at our Lower Flying Point recreation area. In accordance with Maine transportation law, all children under the age of 8, under 80 lbs. and/or under 4'9" must be in a federally approved car seat while riding in the shuttle.

After all the campers arrive, the instructors and counselors will have a brief team meeting to outline the day’s exciting adventures, divide the kids into smaller groups and play games to help campers get to know each other.

The morning and afternoon sessions will include exploring the great outdoors, adventure hikes, wildlife identification, canoeing, kayaking, crafts, archery, orienteering, games and more. Each day will include rest time for our youngest campers. During challenging weather days, we will have special activities in our new pavilion.

There will be time for the kids to reflect about their surroundings, the fun activities they’ve participated in and the new friends they’ve met. We will encourage them to share those thoughts in their group and their journals.

We will also assign these young campers responsibilities such as assistant safety watchdog, assistant chief navigator, communications spokesperson and more, to help them start developing basic leadership skills and gain confidence.

Throughout the camp, your child will collect stamps in their official “Passport” to the Outdoors, based on the activities they complete, and they will earn a special L.L.Bean Certificate of Accomplishment.

FAQs

Q. What is the difference between a counselor and an instructor?
A. Our counselors are responsible for safety, site preparation, logistics and lesson plan execution. They love working with kids and are excited to impart their knowledge and expertise to help campers develop essential outdoor and leadership skills. They'll become your child's "go-to grown-up" and will spend most of their days with the campers. These counselors have shown a commitment to childhood development and education through previous employment or education and maintain CPR and First Aid certifications.

Our instructors provide overall supervision and ongoing training for our counselors while ensuring overall safety protocols and program quality. These instructors hold certifications that may include Federation of Fly Fishers Instructor Certifications, American Canoe Association Instructor Certifications, and Wilderness First Aid or higher training and certifications. Most also hold Registered Maine Guide licenses in various outdoor specialties.

Our Kids' Camp is under the direction of a full-time Camp Supervisor who is responsible for curriculum, staff development, training and overall operations.

Q. When are my campers' registration and paperwork due, prior to their first day of Camp?
A. We welcome receiving your campers' registration materials as soon as possible. You must have your child fully registered, with all required paperwork turned in by noon, the business day prior to your child attending their first day of camp. If starting on a Monday, you will need to have registered with our call center and turned in completed paperwork by noon the previous Friday. Registration materials can be faxed to 1-207-552-7552 or mailed to:
LLBean Outdoor Discovery Schools Kids Camp
15 Casco Street, Freeport, ME  04033

Q. If my child requires a car seat, can I provide my own, or will L.L.Bean provide car seats?
A. Yes. As long as your child's car seat meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Check this link: http://www.maine.gov/dps/bhs/restraints/child-seats/styles.html. Car seats not meeting this requirement are not permissible. L.L.Bean will also have federally approved car seats available.

Q. Where will I drop off my kids at the Freeport flagship store?
A. Our staff will meet and greet your kids at a safe, predesignated site.

Q. Will I have to fill out registration forms online?
A. We will send you, via email or the postal system, all the forms you need to fill out. They must be returned signed via a PDF, by Fax or by mail. Each child must have all the paperwork filled out and signed by a legal guardian or parent.

Q. If I'm signing up two kids and using the early drop-off, would the 10% discount be on the total of $760 (full rate + early drop-off fee) or $700 (full rate)?
A. The 10% discount would be applied only to the full rate of $700. The cost would be $630 ($700 minus your 10% discount) + $60 (early drop-off fee) for a total of $690.

Q. How many discounts can I use if I qualify for more than one?
A. You may use only one of the following discounts: Nine-Week Camp Discount; Early Bird Registration Discount; Sibling Discount; Multiple Session Discount.

Q. Is there a half-day option?
A. Children should be prepared to spend a full day with us. There will be time for resting and a comfortable pace throughout the day.

Q. My child has allergies – what should I do?
A. Please make sure we are aware of your child's allergies and provide us with appropriate medication should it be needed. The preregistration paperwork will have a question about allergies.

Q. Does my child need to be able to swim?
A. No. However, your child needs to be comfortable in the water with a life preserver. While in the water, all campers will wear a personal floatation device (PFD).

Q. Can my camper carry a cell phone or any other electronic device?
A. A waterproof camera is the only acceptable electronic device allowed and will be the responsibility of your camper.
