A Community Supporting Healing & Self Discovery
Rooted in Recovery for Over 30 Years! For more than 30 years, Kindred Spirits has offered a way for people to expand their growing edges, relax, and have fun. It can do that for you, too. We Are “Kindred Spirits”: We are a purposeful community that creates the world in which we want to live, during a spectacular summer stay on the ocean in Southern Maine. We unplug and connect with nature and with each other. Camp is a place to experience unconditional love, dive into deep healing work in safety, or just let your inner child have a blast. We nurture our bodies with farm-to-table amazing food. We connect through song, breathwork, art, dance, music, and play. Our roots are in the 12 Step movement. 12 step offerings are still an integral part of camp, but we have evolved into a community for anyone who wants to further their personal growth and experience an unconditionally supportive community. Many campers have been coming for over a decade and would not miss it for the world. Give yourself this amazing gift this summer. You will be welcomed with open arms! The journey of Kindred Spirits is the joy of reconnecting with self, the natural world, and other human beings. Kindred Spirits encourages authentic expression of feelings and a commitment to balance tears with laughter as we awaken our hearts and move into our wholeness. Explore “lifeshops” in relationships, breathwork, grief and loss, nurturing the self, arts and crafts, meditation, music, play, or movement. Immerse yourself in singing, dancing, campfires, support groups, a talent-optional show, swimming, and lots of time just schmoozing. We build a fun, safe, relaxed community to which many return year after year and where newcomers are welcomed into the family with open arms. Year after year we see happiness and love in the faces of adults, as life-long friendships and sweet memories are formed. Come join us! A wide variety of activities are provided in a beautiful, natural oceanfront environment. Enjoy the divine food. Enjoy a variety of lodging options that suit your needs (cottages, cabins, private hotel-style rooms or cozy dorm rooms). Free your imagination to create what you have always wanted. |

“Kindred Spirits was my REAL first stop on my healing process. Nothing worked much before that.

Something magical that is bigger than all of us happens there and I love IT and ALL the people dearly!” -Michael B

One of the best choices I ever made was to come to KS Camp." -Mick L “The Kindred Spirits community brought the joy of summer camp and community connections into my everyday life.
