Harpswell Community
This trip will introduce students to Harpswell, a town of peninsulas and islands neighboring Brunswick. Explore the unique dynamics of this coastal town, its history, and how it continues to evolve today.
Students on this trip will explore Harpswell in the backyard of Bowdoin College and a coastal community known for its working waterfronts, scenic coves, and strong spirit of local stewardship. They will engage with organizations such as Harpswell Aging at Home and the Harpswell Invasive Plant Partnership to learn about community resilience and environmental conservation. The group will stay in cabins at Bowdoin’s scenic Schiller Coastal Studies Center, with access to trails, the waterfront, and kitchen and shower facilities.
