Please note: The specific trip itinerary for each cabin will vary based on weather conditions, river water levels, site availability, and the overall skill level and age range of the group. Here are some example cabin trip adventures: 

Owls at 4th Debsconeag Lake

Experience the magic of 4th Debsconeag Lake Campground

Known by many of our campers as “the most magical place on Earth”, our youngest Owls will get to travel up to a truly special place. Located in the Debsconeag Lake Wilderness Area, just southwest of Katahdin, this property will give campers a taste of what it is like to be in a remote setting surrounded by an abundance of different flora and fauna.

Sleep in yurts, explore the area in the shadow of Katahdin

Owls will explore the nearby granite cliffs, hop between the Debsconeag Lakes in canoes and hike nearby trails throughout each day. To end the day, campers will cook, sleep and spend quality time between the cozy yurts and our lodge. A perfect stepping stone toward spending nights in tents at remote campsites in their later camp years.

Owls at the West Grand Lakes

Travel through the backcountry

Up in the Downeast region of Maine, older Owls will get their first taste of a true backcountry expedition. Here they will navigate through the lakes and streams around the scenic West Grand Lakes. This adventurous trip includes river travel, lake crossings and even a little upstream travel. Participants take roles in our crews at camp and help with every part of the experience: shelter creation, firewood processing, cooking and more!

Wade Through the Getchels

Hop out of your boat and pull your way between lakes as you traverse through an area known as the Getchels. Navigate upstream passing by beaver dams and through tall grasses. Keep an eye out for Moose and expect to find a lot of mud!
