A Message from Chamber President & CEO

ChamberMaster Rollout a Success!



If you haven't logged into the Chamber's new member portal you are missing out on a valuable member benefit available at no additional cost to all active members. Through ChamberMaster you will be able to manage your account profile, promote your business, post an event, and much more in addition to updating your Business Listing and Jewel listing that will be included in the 2024 Jewel of the Maine Coast Regional Guide.  

We are currently working on the 2024 Jewel and to have your business listing included, a member must be in Good Standing with the Chamber (No outstanding dues). Invoices were sent out on July 6, 2023, and we are approaching 60 days since that initial invoicing so the deadline to be included in the 2024 Jewel is fast approaching.  

If you need your login credentials resent to you or if you have not received or paid an invoice/statement or wish to discuss an outstanding balance, please contact me at 207-596-0376 or email me at Eric@CamdenRockland.com. Click here to view our Membership Policy.

Golfer's Crossing Mini Golf & Ice Cream

After 18 years of providing families with a destination of joy, Dick & Wendy Crossman passed the torch onto me. To add onto the great mini golf experience, I decided to convert the clubhouse into an ice cream shop and offer a local favorite, Round Top Ice Cream. Stop by, grab a scoop, and join our loyalty program before an exciting round of golf. Book your next birthday party or event with us.

Your business or organization could be spotlighted here next week!
