MEALS

We serve a buffet breakfast and lunch, followed by a family-style sit-down dinner. Chef Timothy Tucker takes advantage of the seasonal produce from nearby Picnic Rock Farms. The rest of the food comes from Maine’s North Center Foods, where we order regional meats from a good source. Homemade desserts are served at dinner nightly. The standard meal plan includes meat or fish at most meals. We also offer two altered menu options based on the most common food restrictions we’ve encountered in the past: vegetarian and gluten-free

CABINS        

Small, rustic cabins are spaced around the island shoreline. The typical camper cabin is 16-feet square, with two single beds, a kerosene lamp (no electricity or running water), a clothesline, bookshelf, and a rocking chair on a front porch with a view of the lake. Regular tuition includes a bed in a cabin with one roommate. If you don’t have a roommate in mind, we'll find a good match for you. A limited number of private cabins are available for $1,550 (first come first serve from our LOTTERY winners)

If you want to select your own roommate, please put their name here: (optional)

Some cabins are right next to the main facilities, while others are up to a mile away.

TRAVEL        

Transportation to and from camp is ultimately each camper's responsibility. Boats to the island will leave from Lovejoy Sands Road near Meredith, New Hampshire. We have a volunteer Travel Coordinator who is available to answer travel planning questions and who is often able to facilitate carpools between campers with cars and campers in need of transportation. All campers accepted via the lottery will receive information about how to contact the Travel Coordinator directly.

In the event that you’re accepted in the camp lottery, how would you likely be traveling to camp?

Flying to the Boston, MA Airport (arrive by 12noon on June 10)

VOLUNTEERING

It takes a community to put on Miles of Music Camp. We always welcome a helping hand, both on the island and in preparation for camp. Please list any skills you’d like to offer for a few hours, including graphic design, cooking, cleaning or heavy lifting. We can always use a few volunteers willing to stay on the island till we’re done cleaning up on Friday, June 16th, so let us know if that’s you. THANK YOU! (optional)
