This in-person Midwifery Camp combines focused learning with good food and lots of discussion in a stellar setting on the rocky coast of Maine.

ACNM specialty credit applied for.

The Midwife Camp sessions build on each other and provide time for learning, skill refinement, connecting with other participants, and time for rest and reflection. Session content is designed to expand each participant’s suturing skills, explore new ways (and whys!) of assessment after birth and performing repairs, and discuss the clinical challenges of repairs encountered in practice. The schedule allows participants to build their technical and creative skills for assessing and approximating tissues.

To ensure everyone gets individualized mentoring, workshops are limited to 6 participants. The core workshop runs from 9am-4pm on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Midwives may stay on site or commute from the nearby Boothbay Harbor Region. All participants are welcomed Monday evening for a casual get together. Accommodations with On Site Tickets are provided in a lovely rustic summer home. There are three private rooms and one double room all with shared bath. Rooms are reserved exclusively for Retreat Participants. Departure is Thursday morning (3-nights).
