Maine Woods Explorers: Local History Week!
It is our mission at NREC to allow students to increase awareness and appreciation of the natural resources around us and to understand the stewardship necessary to sustain them. These goals are met through in depth, science based, experiential education and outdoor recreation. We are excited to partner with the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) Educators to provide quality hands-on, nature-based activities that are challenging and fun.
The summer 2022 schedule offers six weeks of day camp: Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 am – 3 pm for youth ages 8-12.
Class size is limited to 12 participants.
Each week is a different theme where students can explore, learn, and have fun!
Drop off and pick up will be at the Moosehead Lake Visitors’ Center at 480 Moosehead Lake Rd (Rt.15), Greenville.
Week 2: Local History Week! July 13-15: Discover the storied history of the Moosehead Lake Region from the history of logging and the fire wardens of yesteryear keeping watch over the mountain tops. All aboard a 3-hour cruise on the Katahdin, the only vessel to survive from Greenville’s thriving and nostalgic steamboat era. Hike Big Moose and check out what remains of fire warden’s cabin.
