   Treasure Island is the Town of Thetford's recreational facility located on Lake Fairlee just off Route 244, offering beachfront swimming, picnicking, tennis and other outdoor activities. Starting in May, Treasure Island hosts a Community Work Day, Swim Lesson Sign-Up (for Thetford children), and Operation Day's Work (a joint work project with multiple Thetford Academy students). In early June, school groups from Thetford and surrounding towns enjoy their end-of-the-school-year picnics at Treasure Island. Opening day of the season is June 1, weather permitting, and on this day children and parents from neighboring towns may come to register for swim lessons. The American Red Cross Swim Lesson program begins mid June and continues through-out the summer in four two-week sessions. Lesson run daily in the morning for half-hour periods between 10:00 AM and 12:00 Noon. The American Red Cross swim lesson curriculum serves the very beginner all the way to the advanced swimmer. A new course offering is the Level 6, modules of junior lifesaving, water safety and/ or personal water fitness.
   At Treasure Island there are a variety of drop-in children's activities offered. Peabody Library Children's Librarians offer Story Hour every Wednesday morning. In addition, a "Surf Your Local Library" basket of children's' story books is maintained at the beach for children to pick from and enjoy reading while spending time at the beach. Each Tuesday, an Arts and Crafts activities take place in the newly renovated Craft Shop, overlooking water's edge, just adjacent to the main parking area.
