August 16th-20th
August 16th-20th
Dear Camp Mattakeesett families:
Thank you for your patience and prayers! I am pleased to inform you that we will be having Camp this year at Camp Robindel. Camp dates are August 16th-August 20th. Staff will arrive on Sunday August 14th. Please keep checking this website for updates and further information. A few points to note: this year we will be offering fewer spots for campers. Accordingly, it will be important to register promptly if you want to send your daughters to camp. The cost will remain the same at $500 with a $25 sibling discount. A nonrefundable deposit of $100 will be collected at the time of registration and camp fees must be paid in full by August 1st or your spot will be forfeited. Due to the change in size of camp, we will not be in a position to offer any financial aid at this time. It is possible that we may receive donations to cover some campers in need of aid, but currently, there are no available funds.

FAITH
The camp was founded upon the teachings of the Catholic Church and with the spirit of Opus Dei. These five days offer great opportunities to learn about our faith and to grow as individuals. Each day, Mass is offered and each cabin says the Rosary together. The counselors, many of whom also attended Camp Mattakeesett, also give daily talks and lead short discussion groups on the virtues incorporated in our Camp Code. Each camper is expected to live the Camp Code, which promotes fair play, community living, and spirit of service. |
FRIENDSHIP
For many of our campers, Mattakeesett is their first overnight experience away from home. While the transition can be difficult at times, our campers typically find that the friendships that they make over these five days are priceless. They meet girls from different states who have different interests and form close bonds. The most striking friendships however are often the ones the campers make with their counselors. Their time at camp gives them a unique opportunity to learn from an older girl who cares about their well-being, faith formation, and happiness. |
FUN
During the day, the girls enjoy swimming, boating, arts and crafts, and sports. Each night we have a special activity including a country fair, a dance, and camp games. We end each night with a traditional campfire, complete with singing, skits, and s’mores! The week culminates with a short show based on the camp theme that the girls perform for their families. |
