KidFIT Summer Camp
2008

KidFIT is a non-profit summer day camp at the University of New England for children ages 5-12. We provide social, physical, intellectual, and emotional growth for campers and counselors through fun activities and experiences; and promote health, wellness, learning, and friendships among campers.  Daily camp activities run Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

We will be taking at least one field trip every week. All campers will receive a KidFIT T-shirt and wristband! In addition to these trips, we will be swimming in the UNE pool every day and going to the beach every Friday (weather permitting).

Location
The camp is located on the beautiful 425-acre grounds of the University of New England's Biddeford campus on the Saco River.
