Location
Saint
Joseph's College
Saint Joseph’s College is located on 350 acres
overlooking Sebago Lake, one of Maine’s most beautiful spots and
a popular four-season recreation area.
• Only 20 miles northwest of coastal Portland, Maine’s
largest city, an hour north of Portsmouth and just two hours from Boston.
• The campus is easily navigated on foot: scenic paths connect campus
buildings, and a brisk five-minute walk will take you anywhere you need
to be.
• A hilly descent to our own private sandy beach opens on a panoramic
view of the lake with the White Mountains as a backdrop on the horizon.
• When you pack, be prepared for a full range of weather conditions.
The weather can change with typical New England style, so during your
stay you may experience cool summer nights, and 90-degree days with high
humidity.
• Casual dress is the rule. And remember to bring good, comfortable
walking shoes.

How to Get Here
• If you arrive by bus, plane, or
train, we’ll be waiting to greet you at the terminal and bring you
to our campus. (When you arrive, just look for the turquoise Saint Joseph’s
College T-shirts our staff will be wearing.) Please remember that you
will be responsible for your own luggage.
• The drive from Portland to the College takes about 35 minutes
(free to participants staying on campus), so you can sit back and enjoy
the picturesque scenery along the way. (A van service request form will
be included in your registration confirmation packet.)
• If you are staying off campus, you are responsible for your own
transportation. (View
the online directions and map to Saint Joseph’s College.)
All participants are required to
check in on Sunday July 20 between 3:00 p.m. and 6 p.m., so please schedule
accordingly.
Accommodations and Dining
Services
Housing is provided on-campus in our student residence
halls.

suite with semi-private baths or a traditional modern hall with one large,
single-sex, shared bathroom per floor.
• Rooms are basic and include single beds, desks, bureaus, wardrobes
and overhead lighting. Your Housing Fee (see

for

• All meals are provided by Saint Joseph’s food service, Bon
Appetit. Their offerings are healthy, delicious, and unlike typical college
fare. Meal service is cafeteria style and includes soups, hot entrees,
deli selections, a salad bar that includes prepared cold salads, and a
dessert and fruit bar. Lunch and the lobster bake are included in the
tuition for all students. Breakfast and dinner are included as part
of the housing fee.
• You may want to pack extra towels, a small desk lamp and other
amenities.
• Off-campus accommodations near Saint Joseph’s are limited,
due to its location in the heart of one of Maine’s most enjoyable
recreation areas at the height of the busy summer season. If you prefer
to stay on your own, early planning is essential (see the Maine
Info page for resources).
