Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My three children have all attended camp at Chewonki. What a great intro to Maine when we moved here and my twin 10 year olds spent a week there. They came away from that much more confident, keenly aware of the importance of taking care of the environment and it seemed to vanquish all of their fears about moving away from California. My daughter was a part of the first ever girls camp. When I had to keep our burn pile lit during the fall winds, it was she alone who did it. She had learned that at Chewonki. I recommend it to all parents who are trying to figure out summercamps and now two of their friends will be attending!!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The way all of my kids appreciate the outdoors and understand the importance of recycling.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

have a presence in every school in the state.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The wonderful staff who genuinely care and follow up throughout the year

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

exceptional! I don't know how they keep finding these people.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

offer more help for kids who can't afford to attend.

Ways to make it better...

I could have gone! I would love to go.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

financial. They seem to continue without grousing about money, but I know times are rough for everyone.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2008
