CHERRYFIELD, ME — Do you have questions about EdGE Summer Camp or want to learn more about what summer camps will look like this year?
Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00 pm, EdGE Interim Director Isaac Marnik and Maine Seacoast Mission President John Zavodny, will be answering over Zoom, questions about summer camp for any interested parents.
CHERRYFIELD, ME — I wanted to give a Project ReachOut update on the great work happening.
Our calls have reached 830 local families, some needing help in several ways including: food assistance, home repairs, fuel assistance, rent/mortgage assistance, car repairs, electric bills, and appliance repairs.
Through calling we’ve also heard great notes and stories. For example, a 91-year old woman conveyed her gratitude to the Mission. She said the Mission paid for her schooling at University of Maine Machias, making it possible for her dream to be an elementary school teacher. She graduated UMM in 1974, taught in the Towns of both Milbridge and Columbia Falls, and retired when she was about 60 years old.
We could not be doing all of this great work without our amazing EdGE crew and volunteer callers making the connections with the families.

CHERRYFIELD, ME — Responsibility, self reliance, and interdependency are themes used by staff with area students during the Mission’s Fall 2018 EdGE Marion Kane Leadership program. These themes are reflected in the basic outdoor survival skills shown in the program student made Public Service Announcement video.
With additional help available, EdGE Assistant Director Isaac Marnik said staffers are returning to schools, once or twice a month, from now until April, for leadership follow-up work on the same themes with the students who took part in the Marion Kane Leadership Fall 2018 program.
Assistant Director Marnik said the Kane Leadership follow-up sessions were stopped for awhile because of staffing shortage. “But we wanted to start it again. It will be valuable to the students to have the follow-up,” Marnik said.
The leadership follow-up will be “a regular part of their day, so for students at school that day, they will be attending the followup,” Marnik said.

Isaac Marnik, Assistant Director of the EdGE program says, “The EdGE program has three summer camp locations. We have one in Machias, Millbridge, and Cherryfield. We give [kids] a lot of options so they have a lot of experiences. Some kids learn how to play chess that haven’t done that, learn how to computer code that haven’t done that before. It’s just a place to come together with their friends and have a positive experience over the summer.”
