About this Sacred Place

Minary’s Dream Alliance is a nonprofit organization that works with youth who have been affected by or diagnosed with opioid use disorder, as well as their families. With a service area of Caroline, Kent, and Dorchester Counties, Minary’s Dream Alliance undertakes the logistics, transportation, and coordination to give these youth a safe and peaceful home-away-from-home and a space where they can connect with the outdoors.

The outdoor spaces on the property, formerly belonging to the American Legion, follow the organization’s mission of being a clubhouse for kids, offering a place for them to learn about the environment, connect with the land and water, and sit out a bad day. Always evolving as they think of new programs, their uses of the grounds emphasize multifunctionality, circular systems, and multisensory experience.
