Mission
The Town of Islesboro Recreation Department was created to provide recreational programming, facilities, and equipment for Islesboro residents and visitors of all ages. Donations to support the work of the Recreation Committee will be thankfully received and thoughtfully invested.
The Recreation Committee is committed to enriching lives through community activities, teaching life-skills and fun recreational programming for Islesboro residents. We aim to provide valuable, safe and inclusive recreational opportunities using Islesboro's outdoor resources, in collaboration with Islesboro and outside organizations, to enrich each resident's life.
Programs
Islesboro Adventure Camp is a summer program for children kindergarten ready to 12, open to all residents and visitors to Islesboro. The mission is to provide a safe, full time, child centered summer program on Islesboro that will encourage hands-on learning, a sense of adventure and stewardship for the environment, off-set summer learning loss, and cultivate community living skills in the young people of Islesboro.
Islesboro Recreation believes learning to swim is an important skill for all of our island residents! While we provide lessons for our youth, if you'd like a lesson as an adult please reach out!
Islesboro Recreation provides many youth-oriented sports throughout the year. With an array of student and parent volunteers to teach specific skills and drills, every season has an offering for your kids. If there's something you'd like to see happen reach out! Historically our programming coincides with interest!
Running groups, and an offering of several 5K's throughout the year, Islesboro Recreation offers training leading up to the annual Head to the Beach Half Marathon fundraiser! Will this beautiful scenic route be on your race agenda this year?!
MADDY DODGE
Maddy Dodge
Hello Islesboro Residents!
​
As you know there have been many small developments happening at the town park of Maddy Dodge, and the completion of the new basketball court is nearly upon us! We would like to thank the Johnsons for their hard work and celebrate their progress with a BBQ prior to the end of June! Keep your eyes peeled for informational flyers!
​
It's so inspiring to be a part of a community that wants to see good things happen for the future generation. As many of you have already donated towards this project we know we're all in the same boat, and we are very grateful for the generosity you have shown.
​
We wanted to let you know about a few upcoming improvements changes. The tennis backboard and a usable water fountain are being planned for this Spring/Summer. We are continuing to fundraise for a shade structure and getting close to preparing renderings. Even a small amount can go a long way and if you'd like to make a monetary donation, please mail or bring cash or a check to the town office!
