Say hello to this year’s EcoCamp counselors Periwinkle, Mackerel, and Scoter! They’ve been hard at work practicing their frog-catching skills and learning new verses of “Down by the Bay”, and are eager to hike, play, explore, canoe, fish, and more with campers this summer. We wish them a warm welcome and look forward to a spectacular summer with them!
