A day on the job at Chewonki!

We recently had the pleasure to be featured by the Maine Outdoor Brands association as part of their fantastic Day on the Job film series that takes a look at some of the amazing outdoor careers available in our beautiful state.

In this episode, Chewonki trip leader and outdoor programs coordinator Wyeth Tobey describes how he helps students find confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self through challenge and discovery in Maine’s wild places.

Wyeth first came to Chewonki as a camper, building his own wooden sea kayak and paddling it for weeks along the coast. Now, he leads the next generation of outdoor stewards in whitewater canoeing, sea kayaking, and backpacking, guiding them to do hard things, deepen their appreciation for the natural world, and learn what they’re capable of along the way.

Help Us Carry It Home

Community support has carried the Chewonki Annual Fund to $750,000 as of March 31.

Spring is the season to come together and push toward our $1M goal before summer arrives on the Neck.
