What are you doing this summer? We want to take you outside!
Chewonki has expedition-based leadership programs – for all genders and skill levels.
Join us to celebrate the power of unplugging from ordinary life and plunging into the rivers, lakes, mountains, woods, and coastline of Maine and eastern Canada.
We will average 4-12 miles per day, exploring beautiful lakes and ponds and breathtaking views along the way. There is a great chance of seeing moose, bear, beaver, eagles, deer, and other wildlife. Ages 14-16
Camp on pristine spruce-covered islands, explore busy working waterfronts, and commune with seabirds, seals and, perhaps, whales. Ages 14-16
Explore the historically important canoe routes that Henry David Thoreau and the Wabanaki guides traveled during their treks to Maine in 1857. Hone your camping and whitewater canoeing skills in magnificent settings. Ages 14-16
This 5-week experience offers you the opportunity to learn a skill, be creative, develop leadership skills, have an amazing adventure, and take your kayak home with you as a keepsake. Ages 15-17
