PLAN YOUR visit

Join us for a memorable summer adventure! Our beautiful 70-acre campus includes nine rental cabins, tent sites, a large dining hall/group space, a screen house for outdoor gatherings, and shared bathrooms.

What is Family Camp?

Parents, grandparents, children, singles, people of all ages come together for a fun, educational week immersed in the beauty of the shores of Cobscook Bay. We welcome family any way you define it.

What’s included?

Three meals per day, tent site or cabin, and lots of Maine wilderness adventures. Register early to reserve a cabin.

Adventure awaits!

Immerse yourself in the natural environment, learning about the nested systems in which we live. You may find yourself discovering a hermit crab while tidepooling, finding moose tracks on the trail, picking out constellations in the night sky, measuring seaweed growth in the intertidal zone, identifying bird calls, learning to owl call, drawing, printing and nature journaling to document your learning, identifying trees and plants, and telling our stories of encounters with the natural world around a nightly campfire. Join us!

Get ready for a creative adventure on Maine’s wild and wonderful Bold Coast! Join us for a week-long nature printing workshop inspired by the beauty around you. Leading the week is Coleen O’Connell—International Nature Printing Society member and all-around nature-printing enthusiast.

This isn’t your typical workshop. There are no formal instructors—just a vibrant gathering of artists, experimenting with techniques and learning from each other. Our schedule is intentionally relaxed, balancing studio creativity with coastal adventure. We’ll spend some time printing, then wander off to hike rugged coastal trails, search for marine treasures in tide pools, visit historic lighthouses, or even hop over the border to Canada and explore Roosevelt Campobello International Park.

Early June weather can be unpredictable—cool, beautiful, and yes… full of black flies—so pack accordingly. This is an adults-only program. Please consider family camp for nature printing with kids.

Workshop Fees

$600 per person includes a shared cabin and meals. $50 materials fee for those who need supplies. You may bring your own if you prefer.

We’d love to have you join us to help us get ready for the summer season. You can choose a project that suits you, whether it’s weeding and planting, cleaning and organizing, clearing trails, or painting and carpentry. We so appreciate all the work that our volunteers have done. You all have really made CETL come to life! Work is ongoing, so please join us this year.
