Each of the three years we’ve hosted the camp, it has been free of charge. Between local business sponsorships and donations, we’ve been able to improve the experience each and every year.

Our program runs entirely on the generosity of business sponsors and individual donations, and your contribution helps us provide a transformative experience for each camper. With three successful years under our belt, we’re committed to making our fourth year even better.

Every donation, big or small, makes a direct impact. Your support ensures we continue making this the best camp experience as well as supporting NAMI-Maine. Please consider contributing to our Venmo page and helping us keep this essential program thriving for current and future campers. Thank you for fueling a season of growth, resilience, and teamwork.

What an amazing 3rd annual Mental Edge Softball Camp! In the words of Bri Ellis - “best camp I’ve ever been to”.

THANK YOU to all of our volunteers and sponsors as well as the parents and campers in attendance. It was a special occasion to get everyone together, regardless of town/travel club/experience level/school and promote a positive message about mental health and performance.

Extra special thanks USM and NAMI! USM has been such a great host and NAMI is our partner in advocating for mental health. ❤️ 🥎
