1Opinion of the CourtJabar, J.
[¶ 1] In 2005, Katie Gniadek attended Camp Sunshine at Sebago Lake and met Michael Newton, a volunteer counselor. More than two months after Gniadek left the Camp, Newton sexually assaulted her. At issue on appeal are Gniadek’s claims that (1) Camp Sunshine’s negligence led to the sexual assault, and (2) the Camp is vicariously liable for Newton’s conduct. Because we conclude that Gniadek cannot succeed on either claim, we affirm the summary judgment entered in the Superi- or Court (Cumberland County, Cole, J.) in favor of Camp Sunshine.
