Student perspectives:
  • There is always something to do or new things to find through exploration. I love searching the inter-tidal zone and finding shells and bones, dragging my friends through the mud to find a shipwreck, walking up a random mountain, or just finding weird things around town

  • Wandering the shores of Acadia, watching gulls on the sand bar, painting the seafoam from the slippery rocks, laughing with friends on the pier, staring at the night sky and feeling oh so small, watching the storm surge from Otter cliffs, sailing on Frenchman Bay
