Thirty minutes south of
Portland
, near
Old
Orchard
Beach
,
Ocean
Park
is one of our favorite locations, with 175 acres of woodlands and
estuary right here on the property and just a 5 minute walk down a trail
to the
Atlantic Ocean
.
It’s exciting to have the Rachel Carson
Wildlife Refuge on the border of our site, where we can identify dozens of birds
as we walk along their boardwalks. During the school year we have seven miles of
beach mostly to ourselves, exploring and studying dozens of ocean animals in
their own habitat.
We are proud of our dining hall at
Ocean
Park
. The vaulted ceilings make it feel like the banquet hall of kings and queens.
Students stay in Mitchell
Hall, which accommodates 80-84 students, with private rooms on each floor for
teachers, and the Ataloa Cabins, each housing 8 students with a private room for
the teacher. The Playhouse building on the site has a stage for plays or other
evening activities and the building is a good place for indoor recreation.
Judson Lodge is an administrative building and contains our medical office.
