Youth Camps and Retreat Centers in Maine

The state of Maine sits in the northernmost part of New England. Maine is bordered by Canada to its north and the Atlantic Ocean on its southern coast. Maine’s landscape is mostly uninhabited forest land. The coastline is rocky but consists of many inlets and beaches with quaint fishing villages and picturesque lighthouses. Thousands of small islands dot the coastline.
Maine’s winters get quite cold and snowy, making it a great place for skiing, snowmobiling, and even dog-sledding. The summers are usually warm and mild without extremely high temperatures. Maine’s rich, forested landscape makes it perfect for hiking, camping, and mountain climbing. The waterways and coastline are great places for kayaking, boating and fishing. There are even whale-watching cruises and lighthouse tours along the idyllic coast.
