Fibertrek Wool Scouts Retreat

We all need to take some time for ourselves.  Now more than ever.  Time to disconnect, seek solitude, immerse in nature, recharge our energies, reground.


Just imagine... climbing into a float plane and leaving chaos behind as you lift off above the tree tops and head into the Great North Woods of Maine.

Just imagine... flying over the peak of majestic Katahdin Mountain as your pilot names every peak, lake, and river that flow past beneath you and tells of their history and lore.

Just imagine... gliding to a landing on the surface of Munsungan Lake and stepping out onto the awaiting dock of the only habitation on the lake and 3.5 million acres of wilderness forest surrounding you.



Just imagine... being warmly greeted by the wonderful hosts of Bradford Camps and made welcome to this quintessential vintage Maine sporting camp.



Just imagine... plunking your gear down in your cabin and meeting our cabin mates before grabbing your knitting and heading out to the porch to catch the last rays of sunset and settle yourself in to camp mode.

Just imagine... the stars and the silence.  Such silence that you can hear the ripples of a fish breaking water as you drift off to sleep.



Just imagine... slipping your toes into the cool lake at dawn before plunging in for a quick swim with the trout before breakfast.

Just imagine... delicious home cooked food fresh from the garden eked out of the wilderness.

Just imagine... days filled with fellowship, learning new skills ~ how to start a fire with flint and steel to set your dye pot to boil, how to read a compass to find your way, primitive storage for your knitting sundries, knitting a pair of traditional Maine mittens.



Just imagine... paddling the lake at sunset, lakeside fire chats in the evenings, and long walks in the woods ~ leaning-in to your hand craft among the trees and filling your soul with fresh air and the scent of pine and balsam.

Just imagine... THEN DO!



Join Wool Guides Sarah Hunt, Mary Jane Mucklestone, Sarah Lake, and myself for the incredible Fibertrek Wool Scout Retreat, August 13-17, 2017 at Bradford Camps in the Great North Woods of Maine on beautiful Munsungan Lake.
