Our kids go to a Maritime Games and Fine Arts Camp each year at Forest Glen Bible Camp. It is conservative Christian and usually about 60 dollars from Thursday night to Saturday at 2:30pm. They compete in photography, art, sacred music, spelling and Bible quizzing. Usually the last weekend in May. Cabins with showers.
