NORTHEAST HARBOR, ME — The Sunbeam bow is loaded with backpacks from a dozen EdGE summer camp kids for a few days trip experiencing Maine islands. Island Outreach Director Douglas Cornman said U.S. Park Rangers on Isle au Haut are “really excited” about the EdGE kids’ visit, and the Rangers put together “a whole program” for them.
Matinicus Island, said Director Cornman, is looking forward to help with island clean up at designated areas.
Also, the Sunbeam trip gives EdGE kids a chance to get to know the entire Sunbeam crew — Captain Michael Johnson, Engineer Storey King, Island Health Director Sharon Daley, and Steward Jillian — and to watch the crew in action.
