★★★★★Melisa MannAttended a women's running camp here, what a perfect location, right next to water and a short drive to many of the trails. One is right down the street and the third photo is one of the views there.
★★★★★Polina MedvedevaOur experience with CBC summer camp was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much thought and care the staff put into creating a safe, welcoming, and fun environment for the kids. The counselors were energetic, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure every camper felt included and supported. The program struck the perfect balance between adventure and learning. The outdoor activities—hiking, team sports, swimming, and nature exploration—were not only exciting but also encouraged teamwork, independence, and confidence. My child came home each day full of stories about new skills, new friends, and new discoveries. By the end of the session, my child didn’t want camp to end
★★★★★Carol SawickiA beautiful view, a lovely venue
★★★★★Bill BuchalaThis is a wonderful, non-profit, children's day camp located on the shore of Echo lake. The facilities, camp and lake shore amenities are top notch. And they let us "big" kids play pickleball in their gym. Generous people.
★★★★★Bethany & Dan CoxOur experience at Camp Beech Cliff we as a wedding venue! We were the photographers for a wedding that took place here and we had a truly fantastic experience. Since we were working with a laid back and adventurous couple, we spent most of our portrait time down at the water, even venturing out into it. The rain came and went throughout the day, but it was just a day of joy, baptized in the water of Mt Desert Island.
