In the magical land of Maine, there are boys and girls who wield whisks like wizards and spatulas like swords, preparing for a culinary battle every day. They are the Kitchen Knights of Maine, a fearless brigade of young culinary geniuses. They are not just kids, they are the future master-chefs, the Bobby Flays and Julia Childs of tomorrow. Maine, a place where trees whisper secrets to the wind, where moose roam freely, and lobsters play hide and seek in the water, is their playground. And there is magic here, a special culinary magic. It's in the wild blueberries they pick from the enchanted forests, the apples that fall like raindrops from the orchards, and in the lobsters they fish straight out of the hypnotic Atlantic waves. Whilst other kids might be playing video games or watching TV, these kids are in their kitchens, aprons tied around their waists, armed with a cookbook in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. They're on a mission, a delicious mission - to create the most scrumptious, taste-bud-tickling recipes in all of Maine. And who leads these Kitchen Knights, you ask? A cool imaginary character named Chef Muffin Moose, a jovial giant moose with a toque blanche (that's a chef's hat, for the uninitiated), and a spatula bigger than your average skateboard. He guides them through their culinary adventures, cracking jokes that make the lobsters chuckle in their pots, and spinning tales about the legendary food warriors of old. So, step into the world of the Kitchen Knights of Maine, where every day is a cooking escapade, every meal is a magical feast, and every child is a culinary warrior, baking and stirring their way into your hearts.

Abe and Gertrude Krasker's dream of owning a summer camp came true in 1924 when they opened Indian Acres Camp for Boys in Fryeburg, ME. The couple had fallen in love with a property they purchased from Abe's student at Essex College. Two years later, they opened Forest Acres Camp for Girls two miles down the road. When Abe passed away in 1962, his son Richard took over the management of both camps, with his mother teaching him the ropes of camp ownership. He and his wife Sandy fully took over in 1969. In 1998, the camps were purchased by Lisa and Geoff Newman who were determined to keep the tradition the Kraskers had established alive. Between 2005 and 2010, Neal and Julie Waldman co-directed camp with Lisa and Geoff. Now, almost 100 years after its founding, Indian and Forest Acres thrive under the Newman’s leadership with tradition at the heart of what makes the camp so special.
