During this unique and powerful week, we will delve into the deeply interconnected justice issues that impact our own communities, our identities, and within the context of a climate-changed world. Campers will have the opportunity to explore themes of justice through a myriad of creative and contemplative opportunities such as “justice projects,” Sacred Gatherings, and special workshops. At Justice Together camp, we hope to honestly engage the world as it is, as well as the world we are longing to make manifest.  

Come explore this living intersection together at The Ecology School at River Bend Farm in Saco, Maine, where beauty, education, and nourishment meet. We’ll ground ideas and values in practice with our hands, our bodies, and the soil beneath our feet.
