Mission: Ferry beach park association is a retreat and conference center located in saco, maine, which was founded in 1901. It was founded by quillen shinn, a universalist minister.

Programs: Ferry beach sponsors conferences and retreats, which support and individuals and families in their personal journies towards self-understanding and spiritual awareness. Ferry beach welcomes all people. For 11 weeks each summer, ferry beach hosts nearly 30 camps and conferences with a wide range of programs. Our programs fall into four general categories: adult conferences, family conferences, professional/church development/ church development and youth camps. Summer conferences at ferry beach feature special programming for both adults and children. Each morning, adults attend a variety of exciting workshops while children engage in the fun, creative, supervised activities of the ferry beach children's program. Afternoons are open for family time, the beach, exploring maine's coast, or curling up with a good book. Evenings are filled with music, dancing, games, and conversations in front of a fire. You can come to ferry beach as a conferee or a vacationer. During the spring and fall unitarian universalist church groups rent the ferry beach campus for weekend retreats. On weekdays the ferry beach ecology school leases the property for a weekly residental environment studies program for elementary, middle, and high school children.
