Enjoy Cold River Camp year-round!
Off-Season Information here....
The 9-week summer full-service season is not the only way to enjoy Camp. Come experience the "Off Season" at Cold River
Camp! Off Season runs mid-May through mid-June and mid-September through
mid-October. Camp is a quieter place, offering different experiences. In spring, returning birds are at
their most colorful and frolicsome, flowers bloom, and the streams
and cascades are running full. The fall offers stunning foliage
and the nearby renowned Fryeburg Fair. In these seasons,
you can still enjoy classic hiking, biking, or paddling - but in cooler weather, with crisp, starry nights. In winter, the silent snowy landscape is unforgettable - and challenging. But the Winter Cabin will be your warm refuge after ski or snowshoe outings.
See the website calendar for details: http://www.amccoldrivercamp.org/Pages/CRC_Calendar.pdf
Advance registration required. Additional details available from Off-Season Manager (see contact information below).
Extension Season
The first two weeks of September are statistically dry and
clear, with cool nights, long views, and leaves slowly going
gold and red. This is Extension Season at Cold River Camp,
with a relaxed pace and some of the best hiking, biking, and
kayaking weather of the year. You choose the schedule that
fits your needs, from two nights to two weeks. You bring your
own linens (and perhaps a sleeping bag), but otherwise enjoy
all the normal amenities, including three wholesome meals a
day, served mornings and evenings cafeteria style.
The rate is $82/person/night (AMC member rate). Use the
summer season reservation form and specify the dates of
arrival and departure. For more details, see the reservation
information at

Spring & Fall
For a month each "shoulder" season, Camp is open for group
use - and self-service in the Fall. Camp cooks provide all
meals cafeteria style (except during self-service), in
consultation with group leaders. The Camp is staffed with an
event Manager and volunteer crew. All facilities are open for use. Campers bring their own linens, and, otherwise, enjoy all
of Camp, as usual. It's ideal for AMC Chapter outings, family
reunions, weddings, and celebrations. Advance group
reservation & deposit required. First-come, first-served.
Weekends especially sell out early!
