Transition a Perfect Time for Reflection Ever since I was a young camper, Chewonki has had a profound influence on my appreciation for nature. More recently, the prospect of a rapidly changing climate has galvanized my thinking. We first talked about climate change (“the greenhouse effect” then) at Chewonki in 1970, shortly after the first Earth Day. We learned that three centuries of industrial revolution powered by fossil fuels have increased the concentration of heat-trapping atmospheric gases. Today we talk about sustainability as shorthand for living within the means of our human and natural resources to support all life on the planet. We contemplate a global transition to renewable energy from the sun and earth in response to the threats to all life posed by climate change. Now we contemplate the changes in human behavior that are needed to face this challenge. In the spirit of thoughtful reflection, and the need to distill some lessons gained from a lifetime of learning and teaching at Chewonki, I offer my perspective on the notion of sustainable living—Essential Principles of Sustainability. I offered them first to a group of students and faculty on Earth Day 2009, when invited to speak about how “someone like you might end up in a life like mine.” I think these principles converge nicely with the stories you see in this issue. We have achieved remarkable fundraising goals this past year, and these stories are also a great reminder of why your contributions are so much appreciated. Think about these ideas when reading about our reinvigorated nature program at Boys Camp and teaching foreign languages at Semester School; or about Blair Currier’s approach to providing healthy meals for Girls Camp, and new sources of energy like wind and geothermal.

Chewonki Spearheads Green Summer Camp Initiative

n initiative to boost the sustainability practices of Maine camps, help them teach sustainabil- Aity, and reduce their impact on the environ- ment was announced in June by the Maine Youth Camping Foundation. Camp Chewonki for Boys director Garth Altenburg spearheaded the effort. Garth, who became president of MYCF at its annual meeting in July, explained that youth camps have always been at the forefront of environmental education in the U.S. “Long before words like ‘envi- ronmentalism’ or ‘carbon footprint’ were in common use, camps taught environmental stewardship, appre- ciation for nature, and conservation of resources.” Yet as an industry, Garth felt there was an opportunity to do more. With this in mind, MYCF challenged its camp members to go even “greener” and incorporate “at least one more sustainable practice” in addition to the numerous practices already in place. Making solar battery chargers is a popular activity with Chewonki campers and trippers. More than 50 Maine camps signed on to the voluntary program this past summer, making pledges that ranged from ramping up their recycling programs to installing solar panels and composting toilets and starting camp gardens. Several camps proposed days without electricity. Many camps already gave their food scraps to local pig farmers, and more planned to adopt the practice. Camps participating in the sustainability initiative will quantify their effort, compile the results, and report them this winter. “Given that thousands of campers come to Maine each summer from all over the U.S. and even abroad, we know the impact of this initiative will spread far beyond Maine camps,” said Garth.

6 Dam Becomes a Living Classroom

nyone who has walked to the Chewonki waterfront has cast their eyes on Montsweag Brook. The estuary forms the western shore of Chewonki Neck, and for most of its history Ait flowed unimpeded to the Sheepscot River and then to the sea. That was before two dams were installed on it—in 1941 and 1968—to provide water for power plants in Wiscasset. Now, Chewonki owns one of those dams and may soon own the other. Lower Montsweag Dam (pictured right) was transferred to Chewonki in September 2008 as part of a natural resource damages settlement with the former Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. Next month, Central Maine Power plans to follow suit and transfer ownership of Upper Montsweag Dam, located 2.5 miles upriver. So, what does one do with a dam or two? Turn them into a living classroom, of course. With several partners, Chewonki has embarked on the Montsweag Brook Restoration Project, a long-term endeavor to protect shoreland and to restore and monitor ecosystem function and fish-breeding habitat in the neighboring 10.6-square-mile watershed. DON HUDSON “We anticipate finding multiple ways to engage Semester School students, campers, and Outdoor Classroom participants in this work,” says an excited Don Hudson. “This is a terrific opportunity to integrate a real-time ecosystem restoration project with environmental education and hands-on learning. And to top it all off, the site is within walking distance of our campus!” A preliminary study has already concluded that the most cost-effective and ecologically responsible way to restore passage for as many as seven species of fish will be the removal of Lower Montsweag Dam, scheduled for next summer. “After that,” says Don, “we anticipate seeing smelt, alewives, lamprey, American eels, sea run brook trout, and tomcod in the brook above the dam site.” Since the endangered Atlantic salmon has a tenuous toehold in the Sheepscot River, the project may create habitat for that species as well. The project has gained regional attention, and Don provided an interview last summer about it with national host Rob Moir of the VoiceAmerica Green Talk Network. Partners in the effort include a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regional habitat restoration team, state and local officials, and advisors from Trout Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy, the University of Southern Maine, and the Coast Conservation Association. Maine Yankee, NOAA, and the USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service have provided financial support, with applications pending with a private foundation and the Maine Natural Resource Conservation Program. We’ll tell you more about this ambitious and multifaceted project as it develops. In the meantime, you can follow Don’s occasional “Tweets” about it at wdonhudson on Twitter and Facebook.

Thank You for Your Chewonki celebrates the largest campaign in its history

t was a joyful crowd that gathered on a crisp fall morning for the cover photo of this issue. On September 1, Chewonki announced that the largest campaign in its 94-year history was approaching completion. One day earlier, on August 31, Chewonki had met the terms of a Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant and secured an $850,000 award from the organization. It was a milestone that capped 18 months of fundraising effort and unparalleled generosity from Chewonki Iparticipants. “Chewonki has worked tirelessly on this campaign, and we’ve spent the last 18 months squarely focused on meeting the Kresge Challenge,” said Chewonki president Don Hudson. “To be able to celebrate this accomplish- ment today in such an unpredictable economy, when families and individuals are already financially stretched, is a passionate testament to the importance our constituents place on environmental education. We are deeply grateful to all who participated.” While the coveted Kresge award did not fully close out the $11 million campaign, it came very close: less than $250,000 remains to be raised. “The Kresge Challenge brought us so far and provided a strong incentive for people to show their commitment to Chewonki’s work,” said Lucy Hull, director of development. This is Chewonki’s fifth capital campaign since its incorporation as a nonprofit in 1962, and it is by far the largest. The last one, in 1998, was for $4.5 million. In past campaigns, nearly every penny went to infrastructure. This time, 60 percent will go to endowment, primarily for financial aid for participants. Chewonki embarked on its historic campaign three and a half years ago, with a quiet effort to secure early leader- ship gifts from board members and a small cadre of other capable supporters. “Our goal was to make this place even stronger and more resilient, and to reach a broader segment of society,” Don Hudson recalled recently. “We knew if we succeeded we would position Chewonki for another 100 years of outstanding programs. We were confident we could do it, but we knew we would need all the help we could muster!” By the time the campaign went public a year ago, early gifts and pledges totaled almost $9 million. The task of raising the remaining $2-million-plus began just as the U.S. entered the most difficult economic era in more than 70 years and global economic markets were going into meltdown.

hat do “Fungus among Us,” “Stalking Your Wild Dinner,” and “Marine Mysteries” have in common? Ask that question at Camp Chewonki for Boys, and virtually everyone will know the answer: “They’re things we do with Doc Fred!” the boys will shout enthusiastically. W“Doc Fred” is Fred Cichocki, who directs the nature program at camp. From September through May he’s a college biology professor, but come summer you’ll find him on Chewonki Neck, typically with a passel of boys in tow. Together, Fred and the boys mount insects, identify birds and trees and reptiles, sketch mushrooms, and listen to frog calls. They live-trap and release small mammals, press plants, go fishing, and make their own natural history journals. They also take occasional field trips, as when they drive over to Mt. Apatite in Auburn to collect minerals and gems, see firsthand what the term “glacial abrasion” means, and learn about Maine’s mining history. Their myriad activities are part of a grand tradition—one that Fred is keenly aware of and steadfastly nurtures. “Camp Chewonki has a wonderful history of encouraging young people to investigate and appreciate nature,” he says. “I always remind campers that in the 1930s the legendary Roger Tory Peterson was the nature counselor at Camp Chewonki and worked on his first birding guide in what is now our Nature Museum. It is that legacy we carry forward to this day.” While birdwatching continues to be a mainstay at camp, Fred is particularly adept at promoting natural history more broadly. Drawing on his almost thirty-five years of experience in both the classroom and the field, he has developed a session-long curriculum that is as comprehensive as it is fun. In “Marine Mysteries,” for example, campers canoe along the Chewonki waterfront and use dip nets to collect and then study the marine life. “They learn what they’re swimming with out there,” says Fred. “Most are pretty surprised to learn that it includes sea squirts, among other things!” Another popular activity is “Stalking Your Wild Dinner.” Camp director Garth Altenburg says “the kids leap out of their seats to sign up for that one.” Who wouldn’t? According to the camp blog for July 17 this year, the boys foraged for mushrooms in the woods, snacked like the Indians on refreshing cucumber root, trapped crabs and fish in Montsweag Brook, and prepared a gourmet feast that they washed down with wild sarsaparilla–wintergreen tea. For some boys, the nature program affirms and deepens an existing interest. For others, it’s an eye-opening introduc- tion to observing and appreciating nature and to people who have a serious love for the natural world. Fred works closely with head naturalist Lynne Flaccus and enlists interested counselors to help run the program. “What do you see here?” is a question the boys hear again and again, all summer long. “I want the kids to expand their vision, to observe everything, to look for new and interesting stuff. My goal is to see them get outside and see the real world rather than see it pre-digested through the media,” Fred explains. Continued on page 20

18 One of the activities Fred has introduced at camp is Gyotaku, a traditional form of Japanese fish-printing that dates from the mid-1800s. Fishermen used it to record their catches, but it’s also a popular form of art. Gyotaku is part of a three-day fish unit that also includes dissecting 19 herring and mackerel and examining fossil shark teeth. Photo by Garth Altenburg. Boys love poking around in the Nature Museum. Roger Tory Peterson created it from an old chicken coop back in the 1930s. Inside is a small treasure trove of natural history collections, posters, field equipment, and specimens. Small though it may be, the historic building plays a key role in the nature program. “There’s a very palpable sense of history here,” says Fred.

Most kids today have what Fred calls a “mis-sense” of how nature really works. “They get so much of their information from Doc Fred’s Path to Maine movies or the internet. They have no idea how long someone had red Cichocki came to Chewonki for the first time in May to sit and wait to get that great film clip.” Fred promotes direct 2002, to attend the academic symposium Teaching for the experience and an approach that blends science and free-ranging Environment in Higher Education.

Given that campers have fifteen other activities from Fred earned his Ph.D. in zoology at the University of Michigan which to choose, that’s no small testament to the program.

magine, si’l vous plait, that you are in French class. You are one of only five students. You can talk as much as you want to. It’s ok to make mistakes. No one is rolling their eyes because your accent isn’t perfect. And your homework assignment today is to learn the lyrics to a song by the French popstar Faudel. IWow. C’est fantastique, non?! Welcome to a language class at Chewonki—in this case, French with Marjolaine Whittlesey. On a beautiful sunny morning in September, her five students are reading and discussing the short story “L’hôte” (“The Guest”) by Camus. Along the way they conjugate verbs, review the subtle difference between the passé composé and imparfait, discuss postcolonial relations between Algeria and France, and wrestle with the question of why Camus seems to be sympathetic to a protagonist who committed murder. “Camus est un humaniste” Marjolaine writes on the board. She speaks almost entirely in French, and so do the students. It is only the second week of Semester 43, and at least one of the students is still pinching herself. “The class is so interactive and so fun,” says Francesa Mennella of The Chapin School in New York. “We have conversations about our life here. We’re learning how to use the language in a way that’s really useful. We do grammar, but it doesn’t feel like we get tied up with it here. It’s just a natural part of everything else we do.” Like other language classes at Chewonki, French meets four mornings a week for 60 minutes of highly individualized instruc- tion. Upstairs in the Allen Center, Marjolaine shares a classroom, and also a desk, with Spanish teacher Abby Holland (pictured at left). At 10:30, as Marjolaine says a cheery “Merci, les filles!” to her departing students, Abby greets the five Spanish students who begin trooping in the door. “¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?” she says warmly, and minutes later her own class is under way. CHRIS RILEY

22 Going Abroad Alumni trips offer the opportunity to expand the Chewonki experience. In 2008, Marjolaine led a group of seven alumni on a service trip to Brittany, where they worked with local French youth on farms and sustainable housing projects. Here they’re seen walking out to Le Mont St.-Michel. This year, Abby took 11 students to Guatemala to volunteer with Safe Passage, an organization that works with the poorest at-risk children of families working in the Guatemala City garbage dump. The group also worked on an organic macadamia nut farm and visited Lago Atitlan. For more information on alumni trips, visit www.chewonki.org/alumni/alumnitrips.asp. Financial aid is available.

Introducing… The New Chewonki Logo

The Chewonki logo with the Osprey in the “C” is officially going into retirement after more than a decade of use, and the new logo, crafted by designer Matt Ralph of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is officially being launched with the mailing of this Chronicle. We hope you like it! Don Hudson, when asked about the history of Chewonki’s logos, said there is little infor- mation other than copies of old promotional brochures. “We do not know who drew many of those early images,” said Don. “However, I can confirm that the Osprey in a ‘C’ was used on Alexander Peskind, a current Semester School student from the Riverdale Country School in New York City, is all banners going back to the smiles over the new Chewonki logo. Photo by Lauralyn Ctizen. 1930s and was clearly drawn or influenced by Roger Tory Peterson.” Matt Ralph, whose design company is also producing Chewonki Semester School’s viewbook, rendered the new Osprey from a photograph of the weathervane on the Barn. Matt spent days last summer poring over archives in the Chewonki library and said the recurrence of the Osprey in brochures, clothing, patches, and equipment convinced him that the bird deserved prominence in the new logo. The logo will begin to appear on Chewonki’s letterhead and brochures over the next several months. More importantly, it is available now on water bottles, sweatshirts, and coffee mugs. Consider sharing them with family and friends for the holidays! To place an order, simply go to www.chewonki.org/store.
