Family Sustainability Stay

Family Stay Overview

  If you and your family are excited to:

  • Simplify life

  • Provide for more of your basic needs

  • Increase family resiliency and sustainability

  • Participate with the nature in your backyard as sources of food, fuel, and fiber.

And, if you like nature-based activities, eating great local food, and having a relaxing, catered camping experience, this is the educational vacation for you!  

“…. after we stay [at Maine Local Living School] I come home with renewed grounding, clarity, calm and vision, reminded of how it can feel to feed my spirit with the friendship, nature and work that it craves. You give us all so much peace and love to bring back into our lives and to those around us. "  ~ 2019 Family Stay Participant

  One family or two? The Family Stay is designed as a custom program.  You choose from a list of skills and activities what the focus of your experience will be. However, if you know another family with whom you would like to share this experience, we offer a reduced rate for two or more families attending together.  Families will stay in different dwellings, meals and lessons will be in common. For this reason, families will want to confer while choosing activities. In recent years we have had multiple families attending the same program, the social interaction is rich and everyone has a lot of fun living and learning together.
