The warm, salty breezes, the call of gulls, and the sight of sailboats gliding across the bay provide the perfect setting for seaside fun. Special interest sessions focus on water sports such as sailing and SCUBA. A fleet of Sunfish sailboats, Lasers, and sloops provides a challenging experience for those who wish to gain expertise in our Mariner program or just learn basic sailing. There are also many activities for landlubbers such as cheerleading, fencing and drama. In addition to the focus of the session, campers participate in traditional camp activities such as swimming, crafts, games, hanging out and making new friends. Girls staying at Camp Casa Mare live in dormitories. Campers gather in the galley/lodge for meals and allcamp assemblies. The galley also houses craft/activity rooms and a display from the camp’s rich history. Junior Olympian Get ready for the Camp Casa Mare Olympics!
