Daily Bible Exploration consists of large-group Bible study, followed by small-group discussions in camper age groups. Each summer Cedarbrook has a spiritual theme on which we focus. In addition to daily Bbile Exploration, campers have the opportunity to experience Christ through his creation. Our prayer is for each child who comes through the NECC program to encounter God’s love during their time at camp.

It’s always great to see how God brings together a wonderful group of staff members, each of whom wants to make camp a special experience for all campers. Staff members are carefully selected through a thorough application process, and they are required to be men and women who are teachable, honest, compassionate, safety-conscious, and most important, those who love Jesus Christ and want to tell campers about Him. Staff members must arrive at camp two weeks before the campers for an intense training program that includes sessions on safety and emergency management, counseling skills, how to teach the Bible, and much more. Staff members must have specialized training and certifications to lead activities such as swimming, boating, archery, and riflery.

We are accredited by the American Camp Association, which is the leader in setting industry standards of excellence for summer camps. The accreditation process helps us examine and improve every area of our program and facility.  It ensures that we have policies, procedures, equipment, and training in place to anticipate potential risks and to safely manage problems that might arise.

All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aid and are additionally trained in safety procedures related to the specific activities they teach.  All activities at the waterfront are supervised by certified lifeguards who participate in ongoing trainings throughout the summer to maintain mastery of lifesaving skills. Camp Cedarbrook always has a licensed nurse on site to manage medication regimes and any illnesses or injuries that may occur during the week.  Staff members are constantly encouraged to think of safety first whenever they are with the campers.

Yes, transportation is offered for all day campers located in or around the Sanford, ME area. Parents have the option of a drop off/pick up program at Curtis Lake Christian Church every morning and afternoon. On the Registration Form, there is a place to indicate whether or not your child will be needing transportation to and from camp.

For over 65 years, New England Camp Cedarbrook has been a leader in providing excellent all-girls summer residential camping. Coed Day Camp is a recent addition to the program.  Because Cedarbrook has over 120 acres of land, some of the previously-unused property has been developed to host the day camp program.  Day campers participate in most of the same camp activities as resident campers--including kayaking, tubing, outdoor cooking, archery, and riflery--but they use these program resources when resident campers are busy elsewhere.
