Eva McDonough (she/her) ’25 – Manager

Eva hails from high up in the Rocky Mountains in Woody Creek, CO. A dedicated member of the Bates Nordic team, Eva splits her time between gliding across the landscapes of Maine and ensuring the E-Room is running smooth. Eva is an Environmental Studies major and math enthusiast, always calculating the slope angle as she runs up a trail in the summer months. Eva loves to help people find their passions in the outdoors, whether that be hiking, biking, backpacking, or nordic skiing. So the next time you see Eva skating by you on a wintry January morning, be sure to cheer her along! She’s also reachable at emcdonou@bates.edu.

Megan Donaghy (she/her) 26′ – Manager

Meg travels to Lewiston from New York as an Economics major. Meg’s love for Maine is bigger than the drive from York to Fort Kent, so ask away if you have questions about getting outside! You can reach Meg at mdonaghy@bates.edu.

Charlie Baxter (he/him) 27′ – Staff

Hi everyone! I am a Biology major from Portland, Oregon. When I’m not on the West Coast, I enjoy exploring the Northeast on foot, bike, kayak, skis, belay, and really any mode of transportation I can get my hands on. I love talking with people about outdoor trips and helping them get the gear they need to explore outside. You can reach me at cbaxter@bates.edu. 

Hayden Eckblom (he/him) Class of 2025

Hi everyone, my name is Hayden Eckblom, I am a junior from Tolland CT. I love getting to spend time outdoors, especially with the outing club. Canoe trips are my favorites, but I also enjoy hiking and skiing. Winter is my favorite season and I am always looking for ways to get out in the snow. I think we are so lucky to be in Maine, and I am looking forward to getting you the gear you need to go on all your adventures!
