DaVinci Experience

DaVinci Experience has played a crucial role in providing a fun and educational experience for thousands of children in the Greater Portland area for many summers. Kids who started out as campers often become CITs when they reach 13 and continue on as counselors during high school and college. Some have even become teachers. The camps rotate themes at different sites in the Portland Area. Camps run at the Falmouth site throughout the whole summer. Cousins Island in Yarmouth plays host to 3 – 4 weeks of camp whose themes are nature and art based. Other popular sites are Cape Elizabeth, Freeport, Brunswick and Westbrook. Among the popular themes are Emergency Vet, Island Impressionist Art (Cousins Island), Sharks and Volcanoes, Crime Lab, Kitchen Science Fun, Lightning, Lava and Landslides, and Inventor’s Workshop. But there are many more themes from which to choose.
Students are led by certified teachers from area schools — most are Art and Science teachers as well as responsible and fun-​loving CITs and Jr. and Sr. Counselors who lead games and make the experience worthwhile. DaVinci Experience is great for visiting grandchildren and tourists vacationing in Maine for a longer period of time. Registration can be accomplished either through the website or the Recreation Programs administered by the individual towns.
