COMBE Volunteers Transform Camp Combe Through Annual Service Day

This week, we extend our sincere gratitude to COMBE for their continued partnership and commitment through their annual COMBE Day at YMCA Camp Combe. Held this past Tuesday, their team came together with energy and purpose to help prepare our camp for the children and families we serve throughout the year.

This week, we extend our sincere gratitude to COMBE for their continued partnership and commitment through their annual COMBE Day at YMCA Camp Combe. Held this past Tuesday, their team came together with energy and purpose to help prepare our camp for the children and families we serve throughout the year. COMBE Day is more than a day of service—it’s a reflection of shared values and a collective commitment to strengthening our community. Thanks to the dedication of the COMBE team, Camp Combe continues to be a safe, welcoming, and inspiring space where young people can explore, grow, and build lasting connections. Throughout the day, volunteers completed a wide range of impactful projects across camp. Their work included trail maintenance, fence installation and painting, planting and weeding, building picnic tables and swings, improving cabins, preparing arts and crafts materials, and enhancing shared community spaces. Each project plays an important role in creating an environment where every camper can feel a sense of belonging and opportunity. We would also like to recognize the leadership and involvement of two of our Board members. Christina DiBella of COMBE has been instrumental in organizing this event and continues to lead by example through her ongoing participation. We are also grateful to Patty Ferris, one of our newer Board members, for joining the effort and contributing her time and care to painting and improvements across camp. Partnerships like this demonstrate the power of community coming together to support one another. We are deeply thankful for COMBE and for leaders who help bring our mission to life each day. Together, we are building stronger communities—for a better us.® Images below will automatically change—tap any image to pause and swipe through manually.

CEPD Reaches Community in Many Ways

What makes Cape Elizabeth so special is the strong partnership between our residents and our local services—and the Cape Elizabeth Police Department is at the heart of that connection. The CEPD’s commitment to our town goes far beyond traditional law enforcement; they are dedicated community builders. As we head into the spring and summer, their community outreach is in full swing. We saw this dedication in action during the recent National Prescription Drug Takeback Day on April 25, when officers collected over 190 pounds of medications from 88 vehicles, helping to keep our homes and environment safe. But their community-first approach extends well beyond a single day. This season, you can find the CEPD giving back by: Camp Chewonki, May 12-15. This rite of passage for many CEMS students is a joint effort between the Cape Elizabeth Middle School teachers and CEPD, which offers an outdoor education program. During the weeklong camp, officers engage alongside students in activities such as hiking, team-building, and environmental lessons that support a safe, structured, and positive experience. By participating in the camp setting, officers build meaningful connections with students through shared challenges and outdoor experiences, strengthening relationships between youth and law enforcement.This year's attending Officers: David Galvan and Kevin KobergerThe Cape Elizabeth Fishing Club begins on May 20.  This partnership with Community Services offers students in grades 4-6 hands-on fishing skills at Fort Williams and Great Pond.  The success of this program means spots fill up immediately. Seat Belt Challenge May 27 & 28. Officers will host a Seat Belt Challenge at the Middle School, where students will compete and learn about occupant safety. Movie Nights Date TBD. Whether held during the warmer months at Fort Williams or at the cafeteria during the winter, movie nights bring community members of all ages together.Community Liaison Officer Darin Estes and Detective Tammy SchafranFishing Club activities
