This is a program for dogs that may be timid, very young, anxious around lots of dogs or with physical challenges such as blindness, deafness, or elderly issues.
Wearing the Bandanna does not signify that the dog is a bad dog. Wearing it just tells other campers that the dog with the special bandanna nees more space to feel comfortable and they should not let their dogs overwhelm the dog, but should instead, ask the owner for guidance as how to approach or not approach.
We want all to enjoy their camp experience and the Special Bandanna Dogs, because of behavioral or physical issues just need a more controlled environment to help them be happier and more relaxed. A little extra effort from all attendees will help these dogs and their humans better enjoy their camp experience.
If you feel your dog would benefit from being a Special Bandanna dog during camp please mention it when you sign in and will receive the bandanna at that time.
Most of the cabins look out on to Lake Ossipee. Cabins are large and spacious and you will be sharing a cabin with approximately six to eight people. Each cabin does have its own bathroom, including shower.
Meals are served buffet style, all you can eat and then some! Breakfast may include a choice of hot or cold cereal, fresh fruit, juice, eggs in many forms, ham/or sausage/or bacon, waffles or blueberry pancakes, yogurt and fruit and other exciting morning surprises await you at breakfast time.
Lunch may offer a cookout on the beach, or sandwiches, salad bar, vegetarian selection and a choice of desserts such as cakes, cookies, puddings and other delicious goodies.
Dinner gives the Chef the opportunity to shine....exciting main dishes such as roast turkey dinner, seafood or other gourmet delights tempt one to chose more than one entree, salad bar, vegetarian selection, hot rolls/bread ,homemade soup and a truly mouth watering selection of desserts complete a day of bountiful meals.
The Camp Robin Hood Chef is known for her cuisine and takes great pride and enjoyment in making special dishes for us. People who have attended events at the camp have said that they would come to a camp experience here for the food alone...high praise !!
