Recreation

    Alden Camps offers many activities at no additional charge. Our recreation program is informally structured around the interests of our guests.   We happily entertain any suggestions for activities.  Tournaments and other events are organized by guests and staff throughout the summer.  For the younger campers we offer "Kids Time" on weekday afternoons. 

On Site Recreation

Fishing East Lake is renowned for it's Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass.   Brown Trout, White and Yellow Perch, and Pickerel are also found in the lake.   East Pond, as it is called locally, is the headwaters for the Belgrade Lakes Chain.   Approximately three miles long and one and a half miles wide, the lake has a varied shoreline with numerous coves.  The outlet of the lake flows into North Pond through a vibrant wildlife area called the Serpentine.

Boats and Motors Small fishing Boats, 12-14 feet, and outboard motors are available for rent.  We request that boats and motors be reserved at the same time as your cottage.  We also have an aluminum canoe.  Sailboats, sailboards, and kayaks may be rented nearby.

Kid's Time is a creative, adventurous time for kids that is offered after lunch, Monday through Friday.  Some favorite activities consist of finger painting, paper bag puppets, nature walks, and other arts and crafts.  It's a great time for the kids to get to know each other, let lunch settle and get ready to swim!

Recreation Barn  Ping Pong and other indoor games are located here a great place to spend a rainy afternoon.

Playing Fields Equipment includes basketball, baseball, volleyball, badminton, croquet, an outdoor Ping Pong table and horseshoes as well as a sandbox and swing set for little folks.

Tennis   A clay court is carefully maintained for your enjoyment.

Scenic Walks   Alden Camps has approximately forty acres of lakeside property.  All of this land is open for your use.  Either walking through the field or along the lakeshore trail is an excellent way to observe the beauty and abundance of wildlife and plants.   In addition, there are several good hiking trails in the immediate area.
