Testing the Mind and Spirit
At the heart of each Kieve program is the desire
to educate, to provide boys and girls and the adults who work with
them information and role models that will help them meet the challenges
of the future. Nurtured by the beauty and simplicity of the Nobleboro
campus, people are offered a fresh start, encouraged to leave their "safe
harbors" to explore, and to become what they aspire to be,
assisted along the way by older and more experienced mentors. Thousands
of kids each year return to their homes and schools as changed
people – stronger, more confident, full of new life experiences,
and with new friends, appreciation, and dreams. |

| Boys’ Camp: At the heart of Kieve,
Boys' Camp teaches youngsters to live with each other and with themselves
in an environment that encourages cooperation, coexistence, and boosts
their self-esteem. They will never forget sunrise seen from the deck
of Pasquaney, or hearing their first loon, or the friends they make
for life. |
Kieve West: A 25-day co-ed summer wilderness
expedition set in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. 16-18 year olds gain
confidence and leadership skills as they work together to accomplish
the incredible challenge of small group backcountry travel. |
The Leadership School: Experiential
education for Maine middle school students and their teachers and
parents on teamwork, tolerance, and making healthy life decisions
has become a national model. Over the past 25 years, The Leadership
School has touched over 1/4 of Maine school kids. |

| Wavus Camp for Girls: Girls develop
their individual potential in a supportive, non-competitive environment
and increase their confidence by allowing them the independence to
make decisions on their own. The program and philosophy is similar
to our venerable Boys' Camp. |
Kennedy Learning & Conference Center: Powerful
learning experiences are offered to adults who work with children as
well as to corporate and organizational teams. |
9/11 Family Camp:
Originally intended as a time and place for healing for the families affected
by 9/11, this is now an essential annual program for them and the volunteers
who help make it happen. |
