Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
Both of my brothers went to Chewonki and now my son and cousin's son are there too. The spirit and culture of education, exploration, and support of the natural world that has endured nearly 100 years. This is a place where boys can learn to become citizens of the world while having the best time of their lives.
