My hope with this blog is to begin a conversation about education, particularly experiential education. Please join me in sharing your ideas and comments of how we can provide a better education and a better life for our children. My focus is on the coast of Maine, but these ideas, and I hope your ideas as well, are transferable to any place in the world. Let's see what happens.

Adult Rowing
A lot of the summer is about adults rowing the gig. They have grown to where they can pretty much handle the program themselves, and I think that's the whole point. Chances of forming their character with the gig are zero. Adults know who they are. Opportunities for friendship, for the joy of getting out on the water, for personal growth, are legion. Adults should have the chance to try new things and fail and try again. We should be challenged we should grow through that challenge. A life that isn't continually evolving sounds really boring from where I'm sitting. I'm proud of the adults who break out of their comfort zone and row with Station Maine.
