Bryant Pond 4-H has a long-standing history and is highly respected for providing high quality conservation educational camps and school programs. Through strong partnerships with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Safari Club International, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, MidwayUSA and many conservation organizations, rod and gun clubs, and others supporters, we seek to grow these programs with the addition of the Greenland Point site. Our commitment to conservation education and the goal of reaching more youth and adults will be led by the leadership team at Bryant Pond and supported by the Washington County Cooperative Extension office. This oversight will provide a solid foundation of dedicated professionals focused on providing the highest quality, safest, and most enjoyable experience for your camper.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Mission<span style=\"font-size: medium\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large\">The mission of the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Greenland Point\u00a0is to educate and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to lead sustainable lives through affordable, experiential learning.
