\n<\/b>The summer camp is on Dyer Island, off the coast of Milbridge, Maine. This 750 acre island, \u201cDown East\u201d from Bar Harbor, is owned entirely by the Berwick Boys Foundation and is an excellent location for a boys\u2019 camp of this type. The Island has a beautiful stand of virgin timber and several natural harbors, making it very conducive to a rugged way of life at camp.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Summer:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>We typically begin our summer program during the first week of July and run through the second week of August. We post exact dates close to the summer to coordinate with the changing school schedules.<\/p>\n
