Our Home: A Place for Healing
Situated on the shores of Loon Pond in Acton, Maine, The Kita Center’s Home for Healing is designed to nurture connection, reflection, and resilience.
This historic former scout camp has been thoughtfully reimagined as a retreat space and gathering space for individuals and families navigating the complex terrain of suicide loss and risk. Surrounded by pines and water, every path, cabin, and communal area has been shaped with intention to support healing.
OUR CAMPUS
On gently sloping terrain in Acton, Maine, The Kita Center spans 28 acres of woodland, open fields, and shoreline along Loon Pond. In addition to being ADA-friendly, our campus combines comfortable cabins, creative studios, and versatile gathering spaces—supporting our own programs, mission-aligned partners, and community members who wish to rent the site.
Though rural in feel, our site is remarkably accessible—just under 2 hours from Boston, 1 hour from Portland, and only minutes from local restaurants, grocery stores, and other essential amenities.
Our capital campaign construction will be completed in 2025.
