Help Local Teens Attend Down East Teen Leadership Camp!

Down East Teen Leadership Camp (DETLC) - now in it’s 25th year! - is an annual, five-day residential summer program for teens entering grades 7 to 9. This unforgettable and incredibly impactful experience provides teens with social, communication, and leadership skills that support emotional resiliency and help to deter misuse of substances, including tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. Many campers attend in multiple years and return as staff as high school and college students. 

The luncheon menu will feature three delicious takeaway homemade sandwich options, with a side and dessert, prepared by the culinary arts students. The minimum suggested donation is $12 per meal. Ordering is open now through Monday, May 12, at noon. Orders can be picked up at Machias Memorial High School on Friday, May 16, between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
