The Chewonki Campus is situated on a 400-acre peninsula in midcoast Maine, with three and a half miles of stunning rocky coastline. The campus has become a recognized model for sustainable management of natural resources. Our practices in the forests and on the farm, as well as in our classrooms and community spaces, are exemplary and award-winning. We have put ideas about sustainable living and renewable technologies into practice for decades, and many of our participants have first-time, hands-on experiences that inform a lifetime of behavior.

Our waterfront is situated within two hundred yards of our central quad, with ideal facilities for swimming and boating. The property sits on Montsweag Bay, a protected tidal inlet located several miles upriver from the mouths of the Kennebec and Sheepscot rivers.

Our land supports a diverse array of ecosystems including fields, forest, rocky shoreline, salt marsh, pond, and farmland – a rich tapestry for fun and learning. More than five miles of trails connect campsites, scenic points, and historical features on Chewonki Neck.
