Springer's General Store
Springer's Store is a 1.4 mile walk from Ye Olde Birch Rock, and a household name to any Birch Rocker. Besides winning several best pizza in Waterford awards, the store has a great atmosphere. The second you walk in you will notice the Birch Rock Banner hanging over the cash register, and you will feel right at home. The store is a popular stop for an after-trip ice cream treat, a favorite of any camper. You may also be fortunate enough to be invited by Rich to go for a walk during Evening Activity down to Springer's and back. What ever the occasion, Birch Rockers will find an excuse to go to Springer's, whether it's "I won casino night" or "mom, dad, I can't believe camp is over!… can we go to Springer's for some candy?".
The quote on Springer's t-shirts, "If I'm not here, I'm at Springers!" was first said in the pre-season one summer in the the early 2000s. Pam Stock asked the guys working if they would be around later to which one replied, "If I'm not here, I'm at Springers!"
Don Munn and Janice Walker ran Springer's Store in the '80s. It was through this that they made their strong connection with Birch Rock. A framed picture of the couple with a news article about them hangs on the wall in the store.
The store's address is 1218 Waterford Road which is at the end of McWain Hill Road going left out of Birch Rock's driveway. The store's phone number is 207‒583‒2051.
