🏊‍♀️Summer Saturday Learn-to-Swim Program

KBIA is excited to offer a low-cost Saturday summer swim program for children ages 5 and up this summer!

This program is designed to help kids build confidence in the water while learning basic swimming and water safety skills in a supportive, encouraging environment.

Spots are very limited, and this opportunity is intended for local families who may not otherwise have access to swim instruction. Please note that commenting on or responding to this post does not guarantee a spot.

If you’re interested, please email [email protected] and include:

• Your child’s age
• A brief note about why you are interested in swim lessons

Families selected for the limited openings will be contacted by email. Because space is so limited, we may not be able to respond to everyone who reaches out.

💙 Every child deserves the chance to feel safer, stronger and more confident in the water.

There’s something about a row of bikes at KBIA that says summer is exactly as it should be.

Kids arriving salty-haired and sun-kissed, dropping their bikes, finding their friends, racing off to the next adventure — sailing, swimming, creating, exploring, laughing until lunchtime.

No rush. No screens. Just beach days, best friends, and the kind of freedom childhood summers are made of.

This is KBIA. This is kids being kids. SOON! This is summer on Mother’s Beach. 💙

Spring may still be doing its thing, but we’re already dreaming of sunny days at KBIA. ☀️ Mother’s Beach, camp friends, waterfront fun, and all the magic of a Kennebunk summer will be here before we know it. 📸: Amy Hoffmaster

KBIA hosted our first Prelude event this year around "lighting the lighthouse" on our new playground, which was an all-around great success ... which makes us wonder how folks feel about the rest of Kennebunkport's Christmas Prelude? Organizers are looking for input from all those who love this 44-year tradition in our community.

Some places you visit. Some places stay with you.

For many, the Kennebunks are more than a stop on the map — they’re where holiday traditions begin, where families gather year after year, where weddings are celebrated, or where a first visit turns into something deeper.

We’re inviting residents and visitors to share their stories and memories of the Kennebunks. The moments that made you smile. The traditions you return for. The reasons this place matters to you.

Your voice will help us protect what makes this community so special while thoughtfully planning for the future.

We’d love to hear your story: http://tinyurl.com/KennebunksExperienceSurvey

Please share with anyone who holds a memory here.
