MOUNTAIN MONKEYS SAMPLE ITINERARY
This camp is offered multiple times throughout the summer. We strive to make
each camp session different enough from the others so that it’s possible to
do multiple camps with minimal repetition. Within each camp we will do a
variety of activities throughout the week. There are so many things to share
and learn, we can’t possibly list them all here. Below are sample itineraries:
Drop off/pick up in Bangor, Ellsworth or Bar Harbor.

initiatives. Learn to make your own harness and tie strong, secure knots. Practice
rock climbing at the Canyon. End the day with a quick dip at Sand Beach.
