Merrowvista
Boys & Girls Camp

Trailblazers extend their journey towards the Four Trails wilderness adventure program. These campers get to enjoy the full in-camp experience and a 3-day backpacking trip in the White Mountains, a canoeing trip to Lake Aziscohos and a supported overnight biking trip to Acadia National Park. Trailblazers’ confidence grows as they discover all they can accomplish.
