In the far-off land of Maine, known to the locals as "ME," there existed a brave tribe of kids known as the Biking Buccaneers. Now, Maine wasn't just any ordinary state, no sirree! It was a magical place filled with towering pine forests, sparkling blue bays, and delicious, world-class lobster. But the true magic of Maine was in its ever-changing seasons - winter snows, spring blossoms, summer sunshine, and the grandest of all, the autumn fireworks of red, orange, and gold leaves. The Biking Buccaneers, a motley crew of kids from all over the state, were famous for their daring cycling expeditions across Maine's varied terrain. Whether it was a summertime dash down the rocky coastline or a frosty winter ride through the snow-covered woodlands, these kids had seen it all. Now, leading this wild bunch was their fearless captain, a mythical moose named Moxie. Moxie wasn't just any woodland creature. He was a moose on a mountain bike, and there was no trail too treacherous or mountain too high for him. Sporting a jazzy bandana and a pair of funky sunglasses, he navigated the terrains with the grace of a ballet dancer and the speed of a lightning bolt, inspiring the kids with his skills. In the magical state of Maine, the Biking Buccaneers, led by Moxie the Moose, pedaled their way through exciting adventures, endless laughter, and the most thrilling bike rides of their lives. Through every fall, every uphill struggle, every victory, they learned the true spirit of camaraderie and the pure joy of exploring their beloved state on their trusty two-wheelers.

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.
Abraham and Gertrude Krasker, a professor and teacher from Essex College, had a dream to own a summer camp of their own. They found the perfect spot, a farm nestled in Fryeburg, ME and opened the doors of Indian Acres Camp for Boys in 1924. Two years later, Forest Acres Camp for Girls opened two miles down the road. When Abraham passed in 1962, their son Dick took over ownership and management of both camps. With his wife Sandy, Dick ran camp until 1998 when it was purchased by Lisa and Geoff Newman. The Newmans were determined to keep the Krasker's legacy alive and with the help of Neal and Julie Waldman, their dream became a reality. Today, Indian and Forest Acres is a thriving summer camp thanks to the hard work of the Newman family. Almost 100 years after its founding, the camp continues to honor the traditions and vision of its founders, Abe and Gertrude Krasker.
