OFF ISLAND FARM – More Information

OFF ISLAND FARM -  HAMPDEN , MAINE  04444 
HORSE ISLAND CAMP - PEAKS ISLAND, MAINE 04108

A little bit about our camps…… I have joined up the two camps to offer  a one of a kind adventure which can include: ocean,  lake,   WWII forts, Acadia, beaches and docks to pastures and fences. This all equals a safe fun experience with freedom to roam , be with new and old friends and to  grow as an individual.  Our pastures are full of  seasoned well  trained  horses and donkeys who  flourish with the campers’ affection and kindness.  This combination gives the campers a sense of purpose and direction while the animals bask in all the tlc. 

A lot of our campers are repeat attendees and form strong bonds with the animals and fall in love with the environment.  Activities are voted on daily and could be…..   Donkey driving, making an outdoor pizza oven, mini horse obstacle course, exploring on foot and horseback. And of course some  farm dogs. The  campers  build their own schedule for the day and when possible all activities are offered. Total number of campers  are kept very low  to allow for a lot of individual time on their chosen activities.

New to staff this year is a Master Maine Guide bringing decades of outdoor expertise.
