What is Camp Good News?

CEF operates a full summer program of camping in East Livermore. Circle L graciously gave us this campground in 1991. Now, more than 700 children are taught the Word of God for seven weeks each summer. Volunteer staff from all over Maine and other states assists the full-time staff to make a spiritually profitable, exciting, and safe week of camp for children. Six weeks are for children ages 8-13 and one week is for teens ages 14-17.

1970

Camp Good News® was born in the heart of State Director Edna Sawyer Welbourn, and we had our first week at Baptist Youth Camp in Charlotte, Maine.

1991

John Romano was asked to direct Circle L Camp in East Livermore for a six-week period, and the board of Circle L Camp voted to give their campground to CEF® of Maine.

1999

Under the visionary direction of John Romano, a new building for the state offices of CEF and camp dining hall was completed.

2000

A nearby 34-acre farm was purchased to make it possible for a more extensive ministry at Camp Good News.

2003

Property with housing was purchased which joined all of Camp Good News together, extending to the farmhouse property where our winterized log cabins are located.

I could tell God was calling me to be here in some capacity all summer, not just one week.

The people that have taken the time to pour into me, all these people who have taken the time even after camp is over, I think that has been the biggest takeaway and impact.

Joel isn’t a new arrival to the Camp Good News scene. Growing up as a staff kid, he fondly reflects on participating and helping out every summer since he was three.
