Shenandoah Waugh ’26 of Lyons, Colo., a Chemistry and European Studes double major works as a nature day camp leader this summer “I work with the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust to run the 4-6 year old nature day camp!

My responsibilities include planning lessons each week, doing inventory of camp supplies, guiding the assistant camp leader and junior counselors (aged 11-13), and helping kids have a fun and engaging time exploring the preserves in Harpswell. The mission of our nature camp is to provide an enriching, engaging experience to kids regardless of their background. It's all about exploring the beauty and curiosity of nature!” Naomi Lynch ’25 of Farmingdale, Maine (blonde hair)
