EXTREMELY rude staff. My family attended bark in the park tonight & the Portland sea dogs over sold…read morethe section that we were assigned to stay in with our dog. THEN your group of campers shows up at 6 pm after the game had already started and expected us to move. There were SEVERAL of your staff that were telling us to move. And one of your employees Mr. Ewing, as we were leaving, said "we're glad you're leaving that's what we wanted." I hope you don't teach the children that go to this camp to be extremely rude to adults. Seems like your camp needs to have better time management and not show up when the game has already started and expect other fans to leave their seats they had purchased as well.

I spent a summer at Camp Modin when it was located in Canaan, ME, on Lake George. I was a bunk…read moreleader as well as the archery, basketball and football counselor. But, more important than the in camp activities were the amazing opportunities to use our Maine Guide for hiking, climbing, canoeing and learning the husbandry needed for deep woods survival. For the city kids of New York and Montreal, this was an experience that they would carry with them for a lifetime. The week long trips on the Allagash River, Rangely Lakes, and the challenging backpacking climbs to the top of Mt. Katadin and the dangerous footfalls along Knife's Edge, were as physically demanding as they were awe inspiring. It was a right of passage and accumulation of grace to watch urban kids who were so accustomed to one world, slowly evolve and grow in the skills needed to camp in the wild and learn appreciation for the natural universe. To become stronger and wiser by doing things so alien to their upbringing, and to return year after year to further growth, was what Modin was all about. That Camp Modin was successful in molding their campers into better people is measured by the fact that it is entering its 99th year. Only those who's souls were transformed in the Maine woods would fully understand the importance it could have in the lives of their children and generations thereafter. It was my good fortune to play a small part in that magical process.
