Camp DeForest, a new hotel resort in Lincolnville, offers a summer camp-like experience with camp fires, merit badges and other eccentric things.
A new summer camp-style getaway in Lincolnville is open to people of all ages — even those who have long aged out of the traditional overnight childhood experience.
Camp DeForest opened this year at the site of the former Ducktrap Motel at 12 Whitney Road, offering well-appointed cabins and traditional motel rooms where guests can stay at all times of the year.
But it also has many touches meant to evoke a classic camp experience, including private fire rings with materials for s’mores, the raising of flags, games and outdoor activities, and booklets listing merit-badge style achievements for guests to complete during their visit.
