Prerequisites for cabin use:
- Cabin use is strictly limited to NBCB members.
- Any member staying at the cabin must have previous paddling experience with NBCB.
- The cabin has an 8-person maximum capacity. Reservations must be made at least 72 hours in advance of your stay.
- Steering committee and board members can make reservations with 24 hours notice.
- Maximum length of a stay is 5 consecutive days.
- Reservations can be made via the NBCB events calendar. Every Saturday has an event listing that can be used for reservations for the week ending that Saturday. Cabin stays that span two calendar weeks require separate registrations. Each member staying at the cabin must make a separate reservation.
- Cabin and gate keys can be collected from the boat yard. Arrangements can be made by e-mailing Erica Pajerowski.
- Make sure to sign in at the parking lot immediately when you arrive, and each day you are present at the camp.
- Sign in to the register in the NBCB cabin; we have to submit our records to the camp at the end of the season, so this is extremely important!
Cabin cleaning and maintenance:
In addition to all Camp Sebago rules regarding garbage disposal and cleanliness please remember the following:
- There is no recycling system at the camp; it is advised that you carry out garbage that can be recycled.
- Complete the checkout checklist before leaving the camp at the end of your stay; this will help ensure a good experience for the next paddlers to stay there.
- NBCB cannot take responsibility for any personal items left behind in the cabin.
- We encourage visitors to follow the seven “Leave No Trace” principles.
- If any damage or mess is found at the cabin, the last guest will be considered responsible for it; this could result in having cabin-use privileges curtailed.
- NBCB reserves the right to deny access to the cabin to anyone who fails to follow these rules.

Our cabin sleeps 8 people. It cannot be reserved for one person or group’s exclusive use. Please be prepared to share the space with whomever else reserves a spot while you are there. If the cabin is full, or if you are interested in having your own space, the ACA camp has several facilities that can be rented for a night, a weekend or a few weeks. These include four rental cabins and a tent site. Complete information on what is available and how to apply can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/acalakesebago/home.
