In the farthest corner of the United States, where the Atlantic Ocean kisses the land, hides the mystical state of Maine. Some people know it as the "Pine Tree State," but shhh… here’s a secret - it’s also the enchanted land of Lobster Kings and Mini Golf Masters! Yes, you heard that right. Mini golf. In Maine, it's not just a game; it's an epic adventure! Now, let's meet the heroes of this story - the mini-golf kids of Maine. They are not your ordinary mini-golfers; they are brave knights and daring princesses, skillfully navigating their way through treacherous windmill obstacles, formidable water hazards, and creepy, crawly sand traps. Their weapon of choice? A mighty metal putter, and an unyielding rubber ball with the spirit of a dragon. One such warrior is Sir Putt-a-lot. Donned in his favorite L.L. Bean flannel and rubber boots, he battles through the most challenging courses, like the notorious Pirate's Cove and the mystical Dragon's Lair. With a steely gaze, he faces each hole like a dragon daring to be tamed. He swings his putter, sends the dragon ball soaring, and crowds gasp as the ball bounces, spins, and rolls right into the mouth of victory – also known as the 18th hole. And so, the legend of Sir Putt-a-lot grows, echoing through the tall pine trees of Maine, inspiring mini-golf kids across the state to bravely face their own dragon holes. Each putt, each victory, each defeat, writes a new chapter in the magical book of Maine mini golf. And in Maine, the magic never ends.

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.
