Wonderful to see such fast racing shells on Crescent lake!

If you are planning on visiting your son or daughter while they are at camp or want to stay in Maine for opening and closing day and need a local hotel or B&B, we suggest making reservations soon.  The Sebago Lake region is a popular tourist area and last minute reservations may be hard to come by.  We have put together a list of places to stay that are within 45 minutes of camp for your convenience.  You can access the list here.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!

The PEAK  program is the result of a unique partnership between REI and the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.  PEAK is based on the seven principles of Leave No Trace and is designed to educate children about the outdoors and responsible use of our shared public lands.

The seven Leave No Trace principles are:

1. Know before you go
2. Choose the right path
3. Pack your trash
4. Leave what you find
5. Be careful with fire
6. Respect wildlife
7. Be kind to other visitors

The goal of the program is to increase awareness of Leave No Trace principles and to promote the stewardship of outdoor recreational resources in today’s youth.  Speak Spanish?  No problem, the program is also available in Spanish.  You can learn more about the PEAK program here.

Below are 2 videos that have been developed by the partnership of the No Child Left Inside Coalition and the Earth Day Network in support of getting children outside on Earth Day.

All members of the Camp Nashoba North community want to congratulate Scott on being awarded a 2010 Gates Cambridge Scholarship, which gives outstanding students from outside the United Kingdom an opportunity to pursue postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge.

Scott, a native of Casper, Wyoming, will be returning staff to Nashoba North this summer as a sailing instructor.  He will also be overseeing the other boating programs offered at Nashoba North.

Scott is a 2009 graduate of Princeton University where he graduated summa cum laude with an A.B. in classics and was awarded the Department of Classics’ Atkins Prize for best senior thesis for “The Democratic Accident? Cleisthenes, Ephialtes and Their ‘Democratic’ Programs of Reform.”

Scott will study for a Masters in Philosophy in classics at Cambridge. He then plans to return to the United States to obtain a Ph.D. and pursue a career as a university professor. To gain teaching experience prior to attending graduate school, Scott is spending this year as a Latin teacher at Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis, MA.

Scott is one of 29 students from U.S. colleges and universities to be named 2010 Gates Cambridge Scholars. Another 50 scholarships will be awarded to students from around the world later this spring.
