It is almost May, and spring is in full bloom! As the weather is getting warmer, we are getting even more excited for the summer! And what could help cultivate this excitement than introducing more fantastic Apogee Leaders! We will start with Will Robertson and Lucy Brennan, two unstoppable leaders that will be heading down
Let the good times, and the outstanding leaders, keep on rolling! First up we have Reuben Atkatz and Abby Dalzell, our dream-team duo that will be taking their students from southern Vermont to Montréal this summer. And (drum roll) in their second year as Apogee leaders, Dylan Hoos and Emma Perkinson are back and looking forward
We could not be more excited to introduce our first set of 2014 leaders! Will Pettee and Emily O’Connell will be navigating the cobblestoned streets of Nantucket, riding the waves on the inter-island ferry, and guiding their groups to the very best beaches on the Vineyard this summer. Indeed, it is a tough job. And heading
Happy early spring to all! Again in 2014, we’re making our sharp-looking, Apogee Bike Jerseys available for purchase to students and families. In addition to the silver/white colored jersey we offered last year (see below), in 2014 we’re also offering the jersey in a high visibility yellow color (see 3D renderings below). We

I’m writing today, January 3, 2014, as the sun is just coming through the clouds after a fresh foot of snow has been left on the ground. I’m fairly certain that we’re up above zero degrees Fahrenheit as of 3:00 PM – if so, it’s the first time we’ve been above zero in two days.
Moderated by Hannah Gensheimer Happy holidays from Bates College! The snow is falling, the decorations are going up, and the caffeine-driven Bates students are filling the library. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, finals are upon us! Despite the fact that this is the craziest time of year for college students, I was lucky enough to be
By Hannah Gensheimer Turkey Day is just around the corner, and here at Apogee we love the stuffing (smoked oyster, walnut, and sausage, if you’re at Chad’s house – and feeling like leaving your diet at the door…) and potatoes that come with this favorite holiday. More importantly, though, we love the idea of friends
Moderated by Hannah Gensheimer Hello from Charlottesville, Virginia! Last night I had the opportunity to hang out (virtually) with three recent Apogee leaders! Dylan Hoos, Rosa Waters, and Posie Holmes are all students at the University of Virginia and took a little bit of time out of their hectic schedules to chat with me. They
Like you, your friends at Apogee scoff when we see the holiday decorations out before Labor Day at our local big box store. Because of that, we’re a little sensitive about the fact that we’re putting our holiday hoodies and hats out before the trick or treaters have taken all of the Almond Joys from
