Pioneer Camp 2026 at Moose Ridge Farm in Lincolnville, Maine!

Spring is around the corner and it is time to start planning for summer here in Midcoast Maine.

I am excited to announce the 2026 Pioneer Camp season at Moose Ridge Farm in Lincolnville, Maine. For more than a decade I have been hosting small summer camps here at the farm, and it continues to be one of the most joyful parts of my year.

Pioneer Camp is a small day camp for girls ages 9–12 in Midcoast Maine, with just 6–8 campers each week, so the experience stays relaxed, creative, and personal.

Campers come dressed in pioneer clothing and we spend our days outdoors exploring nature, playing with our gentle horses, baking in the outdoor kitchen, and sewing or creating nature inspired art. We garden, cook over the campfire, and enjoy the simple rhythms of life on the farm.

Each week has its own special theme:

Week 1 — June 22–26
Bees Wax Week

Week 2 — July 6–10
Mini Horse Week

Week 3 — July 20–24
Flowers Week

Week 4 — August 3–7
Printmaking Week

Week 5 — August 17–21
Sewing Week

Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.

These weeks are always full of creativity, laughter, animals, campfire cooking, and time outside in the woods and fields. It is a wonderful way for kids to connect with nature, learn new skills, and enjoy summer on the farm here in Midcoast Maine.

Please pass along to friends. We are going to have a wonderful time at the farm! 💙
