About the FNCA

© Nancy F. Little 2008 The Fryeburg New Church Assembly is located on 20+ acres of pine forest on the NH/ME state line between Rte. 302 and the Saco River in Fryeburg Maine. We are formally incorporated for the purposes of "study and instruction in the doctrines of the Christian Religion as revealed in the Lord’s Word and explained in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg." The FNCA runs a summer family camp for two weeks each August dedicated to this purpose. We encourage anyone who shares our purposes to join us this summer.

© Beki Greenwood 2010   Our regular weekday morning schedule begins with chapel for the whole camp, followed by two adult lectures. On-site childcare for younger children is provided during lectures. Afterwards is an optional adult discussion group at the same time as religion classes for children and teens before lunch. There is life-guarded swimming each afternoon, and a wide variety of special evening programs after supper each night.

   Wednesday is Outing Day. Everyone packs up a bag lunch after breakfast and leaves camp for a day of excursions to the mountains, canoe trips, visits to one of Maine's wonderful ocean beaches, sight-seeing, shopping, or any number of other outings. On Sundays we join the congregation of the Fryeburg New Church in town for their morning worship service. And there is plenty of time each day for relaxing and enjoying the company of friends.

Little 2008   Lodging includes private rooms on the second floor of the Main Building and Dole Wing; accessible first floor rooms in the Perry Wing; more than a dozen outlying cabins for families; tent and trailer sites with water and electric hook-ups; and dormitories for teens, each with a resident adult dorm parent.

The site itself is both beautiful and inspiring. Majestic views of the White Mountains (including the top of Mount Washington!) are visible from the front porch and the Main Building. The terraced front lawn and all the family cabins overlook the clear, cool waters of the Saco River. Large portions of the grounds are undeveloped woods of towering pine trees filling the air with their clean scent. And the Faxon Nature Trail follows the edge of the river from our swimming area downstream to our property line.

Newcomers and all the regulars agree that the FNCA is "our own little slice of heaven!" We hope you will join us this summer.
