Tanglewood 4-H Camp mentioned in Outside column on today’s summer camps
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Tanglewood in Lincolnville was mentioned in the Outside magazine column, “We need summer camp more than ever before.” Today’s children grow up with little unstructured time, and their social and academic lives are built around digital devices and being online, the article states. Whether camp-life experiences come from a traditional outdoors camp or a STEM camp set in a similar environment, kids simply need more camp, the article argues. Tanglewood offers campers opportunities to learn crafts, archery and outdoors skills, as well as plenty of unstructured time spent playing in the woods and pools and rocks along the river, Outside reported.
