The Maine Outdoor Economy Summit was amazing! Great
discussions on essential topics impacting Maine's outdoor
industry in the areas of economic development, workforce,
access, and equity such as "Preparing The Next Generation
of Outdoor Leaders in Rural Maine". Congratulations Korah
Soll - Rural Aspirations Project, Angela Cowger (and her
daughter) - East Grand School ELO Coordinator, and Tammi
Matula - East Grand School Educator.
Over the past 20 years, the East Grand School has
developed an impressive outdoor education program that
invites all students, k-12, to develop exemplary outdoor
leadership and stewardship skills, from basic survival skills
to whitewater canoeing to moose hunting. Students and
teachers utilize the plethora of natural assets in their region
and beyond to enhance learning across all content areas. In
this session, participants will learn how the faculty and
community partners have worked together to design and
implement diverse programming that encourages outdoor
learning, crosses subjects and grades, and eventually leads
students toward a clearly defined natural resource pathway
in high school that prepares students to sit for their
Recreational Maine Guide license upon graduation.
East Grand School is cancelled for today, Dec. 4, 2023.
