Mano en Mano 2008 Summer Youth Ecology Camp and Service Project

Day 10: July 18, 2008

Today is the last day of the Summer Ecology Camp. We went to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine. First we went to the visitor's center. There was a huge map of the park and then we watched a movie about the history and what we could see there. Then we drove to the top of Mt. Cadillac. It was beautiful. We walked around the top and then we drove down. We could see for miles and the ocean was very blue. Then we went to Sand Beach and the water was very cold. Some people built sand castles and some people dug holes in the sand. Then we went to a place called Thunder Hole. The waves crashed on the rocks and splashed people. Acadia was very fun and we all want to go back again. We drove through Bar Harbor and most people had not been there before. It was very fun and everyone was very tired all the way back to Milbridge.

Day 9: July 17, 2008

Today is the last day of the youth service project. The last week we have learned a lot about Milbridge and other towns. Today we help with the Women's Health Resource Library. They have a huge basement and lots of stuff that needs organized. So we did. They have a nice building on the Narraguagus River. We played outside by the sculptures. The library has a nice place to read books, watch movies and they have other stuff too.

Day 8: July 16, 2008

Today is Wednesday. We get to go fishing today at Spring Lake Pond. It is past Cherryfield and is very pretty. Noah dug worms for us to fish with and we all learned how to cast at the ball field. When we got to the pond some people went swimming while other people learned to fish. Then we traded and everything got to fish. Almost everyone caught a fish and we saw really big frogs. There were two leeches at the pond. The weather was very nice and it was fun especially when we caught fish.

Day 7: July 15, 2008

Today is the day for the youth service project. We are going to the library to help with shelves and books. The librarian is named Melissa and she is very nice. She helped us to get library cards and find books. We helped with the kids room, the shelves move to the other side of the room. There is going to be a new computer in the room so that the Mom can play on the computer and the kids can read books. There was legos that we played with. Some people borrowed books and movies from the library.
