Friends? Made! Essays? Written! We waved goodbye to the Maine Coast College Essay students today, sending them off into the world with one more essay and a whole crew of friends. Good luck to them all in their senior year!

Maine Coast Junior (MCJ)

After a jam-packed week of hiking, kayaking, biking, and more, it was time to say farewell to Maine Coast Junior this morning. While sad to see them go, we are happy to know that they left with amazing memories and awesome friends!

Maine’s Downeast Explorer (DEX)

Maine’s Downeast Explorer came to a close this morning after an impressive two weeks filled with hiking, kayaking, and backpacking. What an adventure it’s been! Whether it’s camping on an island, going on a multi-day backcountry trek, or summiting Mt. Katahdin, these explorers crushed it all with huge smiles on their faces! With these accomplishments under their belts and with plenty of new friends made, the crew went their separate ways, bittersweet but happy to go on their next adventures!

New England Mountains & Coast (NEMC)

The NEMC team explored the mountains and the coast all over New England over the past nine days, and today it was time for them to return to their own hometowns. We will miss following along on their journeys dearly! With many new friends and great adventures made, we know they will return home with many stories to tell and fond memories to look back on.
