Bring the Wild to You

For over 30 years, Maine Primitive has brought the skills and spirit of our home to communities across the country and around the world. Every off-site experience is tailor-made—whether for a school, organization, family, or professional group.

Tailored Programs. Deep Impact. Anywhere.

From lecture halls to Arctic tundra, we bring the spirit and skills of Maine Primitive to you. No two off-site programs are the same. We co-create each experience after listening deeply to your group’s needs, location, and intentions. Whether you're dreaming of a half-day workshop, a rites of passage for teens, a restorative retreat for teachers, a corporate team expansion, or a multi-day expedition, we’ve done it—and we’d love to shape something new with you.
