Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
I was a staff member at the Boys' Camp and in my travels across the country, I often run into people who know of Chewonki or who had experiences there. I think it says a lot that Chewonki is a place where people want to come back to year after year. Campers become counselors and counselors become full-time staff. Chewonki fosters the development of environmental stewards, from teaching kids how to harness solar energy to leaving no trace in the wilderness. As the organization continues to grow, they do so in an environmentally responsible way. Chewonki will buy land for more camps and conservation and new buildings are built following strict green guidelines.
