RIGHT AGE GROUP
Little Wohelo and Sebago Wohelo
are two entirely separate camps a half mile apart, and each camp is
developed with a view towards meeting the interests and needs of its
own age group. There are close, sisterly relations between the
camps, and Little Wohelo girls all have “summer sisters” at Sebago
Wohelo, many of whom are actually sisters. This makes the frequent
meetings of the two camps among the most enjoyable experiences of
the summer. |

Little Wohelo Program
Little Wohelo has scheduled activities for about
80% of the day and 20% free activity time. Campers are in
groups by their skill levels and what award they are working for.
Each week the groups will alternate between preparing a drama, dance
or puppet show performance for the Saturday Frog's Frolic.
The partially scheduled day is wonderful for giving the campers an
introduction to all the activities. |

Little Wohelo Equipment
The equipment at Little Wohelo is sized accordingly for this age
group allowing the campers to improve their skills quickly and
efficiently.
Little Wohelo has a large sandy beach as well as a large playground
area outside of the dining hall.

Little Wohelo emphasizes the importance of Thoughtfulness,
Cooperation and Enthusiasm
 |
and making friends. |

Sebago Wohelo is for girls ages
12-16. The activities are free choice every day. Most
activities have specific scheduled class times so once a camper has
decided to work on a specific activity they will continue to go to
that class whenever possible. Activities like silversmithing,
pottery and swimming for miles can be done whenever activities are
open and a camper feels like it. If it is a rainy day more
people will work on their craft projects, if it's calm there
will be more waterskiers, windy - Sailors. Wake up and decide
what the day will bring.
Most campers come up with a schedule to turn into the office by
the first or second week. Staff check in with the campers to
be sure they are getting the most out of the summer.

Which Camp should I choose for my 12 year old?
If you are thinking about this decision we hope you have
contacted us already. Websites are great for giving out some
information but we are still big fans of personal contact with camp
families. If you have any questions about your daughter's
summer at Camp Wohelo, we hope you will give us a call.

That said -
Girls finishing 7th grade may be happier at Sebago Wohelo
Girls finishing 5th grade usually fit best at Little Wohelo
First time 12 year old campers do very well at Little Wohelo for
one summer to get the feel of camp. The program allows
them to get their feet wet in all the activities and be one of the
older campers rather than the youngest.
Remember that our equipment is size specific.

Little Wohelo - Heidi (Van Winkle) Gorton - Director
