Our Mission
Lupine Collective is a community where like-minded women+ can come together to connect, recharge, and grow through meaningful outdoor experiences. Guided by our three pillars—Wellness, Movement, and Creativity—we create a space where everyone can find a sense of belonging. From moments of quiet reflection to energizing outdoor pursuits, our mission is to empower individuals to cultivate personal growth, confidence, and well-being. By fostering connections with oneself, others, and the natural world, we embrace the transformative power of nature.
Our Story
The Lupine Collective was created by the team behind Maine Outdoor Kids after seeing a growing demand for women’s outdoor programming. Many women shared their desire for spaces to connect, move, and create in nature, but struggled to find a safe and welcoming space to do so. In recognizing this gap, Lupine Collective was launched to offer community-driven experiences rooted in wellness, movement, and creativity—designed by women, for women.
