Tucked in a cove on the coast of Maine you will find a bit of God’s country. Fall foliage, ocean views and “lobsta feeds” are part of the Acadia experience. Acadia CFO is located on Mount Desert Island, Maine, surrounded by Acadia National Park (hence our name). Campers can enjoy the natural beauty of the Park which offers hiking trails and other outdoor recreational activities.
For over 25 years CFO has met at the Claremont Hotel, one of the oldest hotels on Mount Desert Island. The hotel provides the perfect setting for an adult camp of sixty to seventy five people. Small groups enhance the CFO experience. As you enter the hotel lobby on a cool autumn day a warm fire and smiling faces welcome you. Campers are welcomed to the dining room with hugs and on the last day campers can enjoy a Maine “Lobsta Feed.”
This poem reflects a camper’s Acadia experience:
Acadia CFO
I open my eyes and what greets me
Smiling faces for the world to see
Welcome, we’re glad you are here
Take time to relax, just open your heart
Step farther out, without any fear
Learn to be quiet, to listen and pray
Music, art or writing will stretch you each day
Open up worlds you haven’t explored
Each step that you take brings a closer walk with the Lord.
