For more than 30 years, Kindred Spirits has offered a way for people to expand their growing edges, relax, and have fun. It can do that for you, too.

A wide variety of activities are provided in a beautiful, natural environment. Stay in a rustic cabin or cozy dorm room or treat yourself to a private room. Enjoy the divine food. Free your imagination to create what you have always wanted. Explore “lifeshops” in relationships, breathwork, grief and loss, nurturing the self, arts and crafts, meditation, music, play, or movement. Immerse yourself in singing, dancing, campfires, support groups, a talent-optional show, swimming, and lots of time just schmoozing.

We are a purposeful community that creates the world in which we want to live for a week every summer in the beautiful mountains of Western Massachusetts. We unplug and connect with nature and with each other. Camp is a place to experience unconditional love, dive into deep healing work in safety, or just let your inner child have a blast. We nurture our bodies with farm-to-table amazing food. We connect through song, breathwork, art, dance, music, and play. Our roots are in the 12 Step movement. 12 step offerings are still an integral part of camp, but we have evolved into a community for anyone who wants to further their personal growth and experience an unconditionally supportive community. Many campers have been coming for over a decade and would not miss it for the world. Give yourself this amazing gift this summer. You will be welcomed with open arms!

This virtual workshop invites Rowe parents, caregivers, and alumni to explore how to bring some of the fun, play and connection of camp life home through thoughtfully planned tech-free time. Open to families with all kinds of relationships to technology, this is a judgment-free conversation focused on what feels doable, supportive, and meaningful. Together, we’ll reflect on what works at Rowe, what translates to home life, and how to create tech-free moments that support connection, creativity, and rest.

UU Rowe Camp & Conference Center is pleased to present Forest Bathing Weekend Retreat: Experience the Healing Presence of the Forest, a program led by certified forest therapy guide and award-winning author Nadine Mazzola. This retreat invites participants to slow down, reconnect with themselves and nature, and experience the restorative power of the forest in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
