LETTER fRom THE ExEcUTIvE DIREcToR

We’re about to begin Kieve’s 90th summer and Wavus Camp for

Girls’ 10th. As we mark these important milestones, we’ve reached out to many alumni to capture their camp memories and share them with this and future generations. We also found a service in Cambridge, Mass. to scan our historical archives so that everyone can easily access them via the web. How cool is it that every single day, wilderness trip, and many stories were chronicled in our Annuals since the very first day of camp in 1926! Preparing for all of this, I sat down for the first time to read all of the Annuals cover to cover. It struck me that camp life in 2015 is nearly identical to that of the early years, and it hasn’t wavered along the way. Here’s an excerpt from the 1926 Kieve Annual:

“These past eight weeks have meant a lot to us from the youngest boy to the oldest counselor. We have been living in a unique environment – an environment of truth. Here we have been honest; honest to others and true to ourselves. We have come down to the fundamentals. We have studied the native traits of gentlemen and we have absorbed them by living them. We have entered into friendships with those younger and older than ourselves and we have given our best to each other. As we gave, so did we receive. Let us carry the ideals of Kieve with us during the winter until we meet again in 1927. Whatever situation we may find ourselves in, let us make it possible for others to say with pride: “There is a Kieve boy.”

In 1972 I completed my last Kieve camper year as a 14-year-old 8th grader. Our final adventure took us way up into the Canadian wilderness, about halfway between Ottawa and Hudson Bay, to a remote outpost run by an old Kieve guy, Rod Beebe. The temperatures dropped well below freezing

at night. The portages, some of them 3-4 miles long, seemed nearly impossible with us skinny guys soloing wood and canvas canoes weighing more than we did. It was hard to pack enough protein in the wannigans to feed our bottomless pits so we relied partly on our expert fishermen, Stew Ames, Pete Buck, Chris Bensley and David Mead, to catch us some northern pike along the way. We paddled downstream through tremendous whitewater and across gorgeous, remote lakes; the moose and mosquitos were huge, eagles soared over us, and the starry sky

was like nothing we had ever seen. After a couple of weeks the going got rougher as we headed back toward base camp with several days of paddling against the current ahead of us. One day while lining our canoes up a small waterfall one of our guys slipped and grabbed the gunnel to catch himself. The canoe filled with water and the wooden gunnels, with our precious fishing rod tied to one for safe keeping, snapped like twigs. Both ends of the canoe pointed straight up toward the sky. We all were pretty scared and we expected our counselors to be upset, but they calmly and expertly extricated the canoe from the waterfall and set to work fashioning some new gunnels out of tree saplings. While the counselors fixed the canoe, all of us kids collected firewood, erected the tents, cooked dinner, then cleaned up. By the time the sun set the canoe was navigable and we all had enjoyed one of the best days of the trip. Crisis averted, lessons learned, confidence built, and on we went. A week later when we finally returned to Kieve after a long train ride to Quebec City followed by 5 hours in the back of the camp pick-up truck, it was nearly dark. From the top of the hill we could hear the Kieve song being sung on the other side of Innisfree after the flag came down. All of the campers then came running over to greet the returning explorers. I and all of my cabin-mates will never forget that moment; we were so proud of ourselves and felt like we could handle anything the world threw at us.

Simply put, a Kieve and Wavus education relies heavily on challenging and stretching our campers and students and surrounding them with an armor of love from friends and devoted, strong, healthy, caring, professional staff, most of whom grew up in our camps. Sometimes in life things don’t go exactly according to plan but how we react in these situations helps to define our character and impact our ultimate success and happiness. Kieve and Wavus alumni who have come before and after this 90th and 10th year all know that our camp experiences, lessons and friendships are true & honest, will last forever, and prepare us for lives well lived. Thank you all for helping to ensure that Kieve-Wavus will thrive in perpetuity.

Sincerely,

Henry R. Kennedy, Executive Director

Th e 1 9 9 0 Kieve Annua l i s memorable in that it was the

year Dick Kennedy retired from summer camp after 32 years as THE director. In the Annual there is a wonderful sermon Dick gave at the closing ceremony. He summed up one of Kieve’s greatest gifts to campers. According to Dick, “Kieve seems to suggest to young people that they will find people who will take care of them; this security helps young people take care of themselves and finally learn how to take care of others.”

Twenty-five years later Kieve continues to thrive in large part due to a team of directors who truly realized Dick’s quote. They are a group of men who have spent over half of their lives being educated at Kieve. And now as adults they are year round educators teaching in traditional and non-traditional schools; public and private institutions; primary school, middle school and secondary school children. And regardless of where, or whom they teach, one common theme unites them… their educational philosophy

was learned at Camp Kieve. They build friendships and community wherever they work. They are constantly looking for ways to make things better and improve things in and outside of the classroom.

Dick Kennedy in early ‘�0’s addressing campers and counselors. From an excerpt in the 19�3 Annual he said, “If you give to others, they will return your gift with interest added”.

Charles J. Richardson Jr. – Counselor 1983-’84; Wilderness Tripping Director ’85; Assistant Director ’86-’92; Co-Director ’93-2004; Assistant Director 2005; Director of Education and Operations 2010 to present

Charlie has been an integral member of the Kieve-Wavus family since 1983, first as an intern in Kieve's Leadership School (LDI) program then as a counselor, and ultimately as Co-Director of the Boys’ Camp. He currently is involved in helping to provide the best educational experience for each and every person and group that comes to our incredible campuses. In the community Charlie is a board member at the Central Lincoln County YMCA and a former board member and chairman of the Nobleboro, Maine School Board. His teaching, coaching, and administrative experience have taken place in Maine, Massachusetts, West Virginia, and Maryland.

Reid Anderson – Camper 1992-96; Counselor 1998-02; Head of Adventure

Perhaps you’ve heard that Wavus has some wonderful new leadership this summer. If you haven’t ‘met’ me

yet, I am an educator who has been fortunate enough to spend my life teaching learners of all ages. In addition to my roles as classroom teacher and administrator at Hyde, an independent boarding school, I have run wilderness trips in the woods and on the waters of Maine for schools and camps. I have also managed ropes courses, worked as

WavUS – REaDy foR SUmmER!a bunk counselor for Tanglewood 4-H Camp, and coached youth sports for the Bath Recreation Department. I reside in Bath, ME with my husband Rich and my daughters Merrill and Logan, both long term Wavus campers.

I am pleased to welcome a new director for our Junior Wavus Program. The JW campers will be in the competent and loving hands of Megan Taft this summer. Of course, this year is more like a coming home for Meg who served as an educator and Residential Director for The Leadership School (TLS) at Kieve from 2002-2005. After three years at the Leadership School, Meg was eager to continue her work in the field of Outdoor Education and embraced the opportunity to work as the Director of Adventure Education for a boarding school nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains. Over the course of her career as an educator, Meg has been trained as a Wilderness (and Basic) EMT and WFR, and she has been certified for canoeing, lifeguarding, and managing ropes courses. She has worked with several colleges and universities, most recently Bates College, in the areas of diversity training and education, student leadership development and environmental education. So, she brings a few skills to the table, and I am thrilled to have her – a mom herself – shepherding the campers and counselors of our JW program. Meg resides in Jefferson with her partner Meg Taft and Kirstie Truluck are both really looking forward to summer

camp and Wavus 2015!

Veterans Camp moved back over to Kieve this winter for our annual Vietnam Veterans Camp and Women

Veterans Camp. In December, Vietnam Veterans and their loved ones joined us for some great fun throughout the week. Thanks to long-time volunteers Donna Begley and Sharon Morrison, many enjoyed personal services such as foot reflexology and Thai yoga massage. Local practitioners Teale and Inka provided warm deep-tissue massages and reflexology in Innisfree by the fire. Local artists Brady Nickerson and Lindy Gifford offered Doodle-ography in Cutler with Nate and Alan throwing clay in the seasonal pottery workshop set up downstairs in Buck. Rob Reilly and volunteer Ed Thelander provided climbing opportunities for adventurers in the Buck building. Evenings brought the sounds of conversation and laughter to the Kennedy Learning Center (KLC) great room, where campers gathered for an ongoing cribbage tournament, puzzles and occasionally some hearty souls slipped out to enjoy the hot tub! Finally, as has become customary in recent years, Joe Hansen of American Legion Post 86 stopped by one evening to present us with a donation check for $13,700. Over the past three years the Legion’s, “Tee It Up Fore a Veteran,” golf scramble has raised over $36,000 to support Veterans Camp!

In January, bitterly-cold days and nights numbed our noses but didn’t stop the women veterans from having a ball at

camp. Along with the now common camp activities such as ropes, rock wall climbing and pottery, Sharon Morrison taught bread-baking in the KLC kitchen. Lindy Gifford brought back the ever popular Doodle-ography and Teale and Inka provided a full schedule of massages. Special thanks to volunteer Nancy Miller who flew up for the week from Washington, D.C. and facilitated daily mindful meditation sessions in Innisfree. Not to be kept inside by the cold, the ladies acquired some sleds and spent a couple of afternoons tearing down the snow-covered hillsides alongside Buck and Pasquaney! Stoically, the group gathered on Thursday at the land-zip for a frigid thrill-ride with screams and laughter echoing out the across the point. Evenings found the group gathered in the KLC great room for puzzles, arts and crafts, and many (unbelievably) made their way out in the sub-zero darkness to soak in the hot tub. It was a great week and another great winter season of Veterans Camp!

kIEvE 90TH & WavUS �0TH

Join us this summer to help celebrate Kieve’s 90th and Wavus’ 10th. We are planning a weekend celebration July 24th thru the 26th. Registration is online at kieve.org under our Alumni/Events link. Limited housing is

available so make your reservations soon. There will be lots of tents set up in the Harriet House field. Spread the word with your friends and be sure to register today! See you this summer!

For each of the sixteen summers I spent at Kieve as a camper, counselor and founder-director of Kieve West,

this is what I would say as soon as the snow melted and temperatures started to climb. Having just spent spring break with my nephew and niece, both Kieve-Wavus campers, I know that they share this same sentiment. Though I will only return to Camp as a visitor this summer with my two boys, two and a half and three months, I am excited to return to the Kieve-Wavus community again as a guest writer through the “Camper Connection”. Like last summer, through each week I hope to connect what their daughter or son is experiencing to the larger goal of raising healthy and happy children and to help parents better see the transformative gift they are giving their child with a summer at Camp. I look forward to sharing the joy of Camp with the parent community! The experiences that I share with today’s Kieve-Wavus campers are both my figurative inspiration as I strive to create a place where, like Camp, learning is joyous, and my literal inspiration as I often tell stories about Kieve on my blog, Thank Goodness It’s Almost Monday (www.tgiam.org). The blog, with the tagline: “a

We’re looking forward to another fun week on the adventure

course!Champion KUBB Team “The XX” – Jenn & Matt Komorowski and Joel Kavet.

We are on from August 16th - August 20th for our 9/11 & Family Adventure Camp. There are still spaces available – sign up today! Like last year, this summer’s camp will be held on the Kieve campus. We are combining our Family Camp formerly held at Wavus with a number of families at Kieve enjoying what will be our 14th Annual 9/11 Family Camp. This is an opportunity to come to camp as a family to learn more about our two camps. As “campers” you will have the opportunity to try different summer camp activities, spend an afternoon on the ocean on the Snowgoose III, enjoy wonderfully prepared meals, explore both of the Kieve and Wavus camps, or simply share a morsel of time with those you care about most on beautiful Damariscotta Lake.

One Sunday morning tradition dating back over 50 years is the selection of the loudest and sweetest voices. Each

Sunday, thirty minutes before chapel, campers are invited to sing their hearts out. Beautiful sounds can be heard all around the lake and there are even times when motor boats stop and listen. While Nancy Kennedy (LaLa) played the piano a counselor would listen intently to capture who in the crowd has the loudest and sweetest voice. During lunch, LaLa (and now BJ) would bring out two freshly made cakes and deliver them to the cabin(s) whose voices were the loudest and sweetest.

I remember when we first started talking about what would eventually

become the Leadership School EIR program. At that point, there were a lot of cool questions without answers, but there never seemed to be any doubt that sending TLS staff into schools around Maine was a really, really good idea. Three years later we still have questions, but our early conviction about the viability and necessity of such an endeavor remains stronger than ever.

There are a ton of great moments and initiatives that grew out of our conviction: an after school program for the little ones; “Kieve days” at several partnering schools; countless one-on-one conversations between EIRs and students, many of whom are “at-risk”; tutoring sessions in every subject area you can think of; efforts to integrate Kieve and traditional public school curricula; games and more games and insightful debriefs. We’re even working directly with English Language Learners (ELL) programs! How cool! When I hear about all of these wonderful things we’re doing in schools around the state, I can’t help but feel more hopeful about the future of education in Maine. And make no

EDUcaToRS IN RESIDENcE

mistake—primary and secondary education in Maine, despite a truly massive effort on the part of some top-notch teachers, administrators, students and families, is suffering.

Have you ever read that neat little piece about what life would be like if every day were a Kieve day? I’ve always loved that thing, but have to admit that it sometimes makes me sad because for the great majority of people every day is NOT a Kieve day. Of all the things we're doing to empower people and communities around Maine, a desire

to bring the “Kieve Spirit” to every corner of the state is surely the most important. Don’t get me wrong—we’re not banging on the tables during lunch, there aren’t any Aqua Attacks raging during Blocks 3 and 4, and there’s no Kieve Song sung before the kiddos hop on the bus or get picked up at the end of the day. What I mean is that as EIRs we try to bring the same indelible kindness and respect to our students and schools that is, without a doubt, the hallmark and most enduring legacy of Kieve-Wavus.

Our Educators in Residence with a few of the school administrators at our end of season wrap-up meeting in Pasquaney.

And sometimes I wonder what the whole world would be like, if every person on earth wore a

nametag, and picked up two pieces of trash after meals. What if lights out for all was at 9 p.m. and wake up at 7, and if everybody showered on a regular basis for under 3 minutes a day… If bridges were built with tinker toys, and we all had Solo time… What if every child had a harness, a rope, and a belay team strapped to them before going out in the world and we all played hard, played safe, and played fair… and everyone in the whole world received 3 meals and 3 snacks a day? If every morning the townspeople came out to play Speed Rabbit at community meeting and every afternoon after work or school the whole world had choice-time…

What if the major leaders of the world could get together for an afternoon of trust falls and “I messages” and every Thursday night we all had a celebration, if every night at family meeting we shared our high points of our day,

aLL I EvER REaLLy NEEDED To kNoW I LEaRNED aT THE LEaDERSHIP ScHooL … and each city rotated around chores, to clean up around the world… What if we all had time to go back to our homes and put on a second layer, and juggling life was as easy and fun as juggling soft kushy objects…

What would life be like if everyone was treated with kindness and respect, if hugs were unconditional, and we all walked our talk? If the good stuff stayed inside our beings and the bad stuff stayed outside, and if at the end of every year, everyone gave each other a put up. What if we could all take a class on relationships? And what if at the end of it all, the whole world could play a great big game, receive graduation certificates, and exit to the sound of applause…

ALL I EVER REALLY NEEDED TO KNOW I LEARNED AT THE LEADERSHIP SCHOOL

TAKE IT WITH YOU…

Sam was first introduced to Kieve-Wavus Education as a senior at

Bowdoin College with members of the Residential Life staff. She fell in love with the campus and was inspired by how positive and energetic the TLS staff was. She has tutored at local schools in Brunswick, vo lunteered a t a chi ldcare center, worked at Slovenski Camps as a counselor, coach, head cook and also worked for an Upward Bound program at Clark University. Sam graduated in 2014 with a BA in Psychology and Gender & Women’s Studies with a minor in education and said "working for Kieve-Wavus has helped me fulfill my goal to combine my passion of working with kids with my love of being outdoors”. From the first day of staff training in August, she was challenged to continue to look at the glass half full through everything she did. Sam has internalized the meaning of Kieve – to strive in emulation of - and is reminded every day in working with kids that it is her responsibility to inspire students.

This winter she worked at King Middle School in Portland through the

Educator in Residence program. Her biggest takeaway was that “I cannot stress enough how important it is to build connections with your students.

It’s one thing to know their strengths and weaknesses in the classroom; however, it is equally important to get to know them beyond that context. When you make an effort and show a genuine interest, you show students that you care, which allows them to comfortably

open up to you”. I believe that it is so important to give back to whatever community or communities you are a part of. Being at King allowed me to become integrated into the Portland community. Being able to help coach the track team at King was such a valuable experience. It gave me the opportunity to build stronger relationships with students and get to connect with them on a deeper level.

Sam also started volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House in January. Giving up a few hours once a week allowed me to assist with the check-in and check-out of families, housekeeping and administrative tasks. They also have a guest chef

kWE STaff SPoTLIGHT – SamaNTHa coPLaND

Sam Copland

program for volunteers to cook dinner for the families staying in the house. Kieve graciously agreed to fund TLS staff being guest chefs at RMH once a month, which has been a fun and rewarding experience.

Working for TLS has enabled her to become a better educator. Beyond the practical experience gained every week, Sam has benefitted from a number of professional development opportunities: the High 5 Symposium for Adventure Course training, the Association for Experiential Education Conference, the Maine Guide recreational guide license course. She will use this new knowledge this summer working at Wavus Camp For Girls. She is looking forward to being the Assistant Director of the Challenge Course as well as working with the campers to prepare them for their trips across Maine.

“I am thankful to be working for TLS. I wake up every morning to a beautiful view of the lake and go to bed at night seeing the reflection of the moon on the water. This gives me perspective and allows me to start and end the day looking at the glass half full. I am excited to see what else I can learn, how much I can grow, and to continue to connect with so many students in Maine each week”.

NExT GENERaTIoN camPaIGN

We have made great progress toward our $3.3 goal for the Next Generation Campaign and still have $200,000 left to raise. Thank you to all the families who have dug deep to help us help others as we continue to build world class facilities and programs. In addition to providing camp scholarships and funding for Veterans programs, we will complete the land purchase at Punk Point (Southover) and finish building the new cabin to meet Wavus Camp for Girls’ demand during summer camp.

Sara and their future Wavus camper Adley.

The ice isn’t yet off the lake, but we are in the office, on the phone and even on the road doing all we can to weave ourselves into the delightful Wavus community, and larger K-W Education family, before summer brings us all together at Damariscotta Lake.

Many wonderful women, who know and love Wavus, are returning and rising into leadership positions all around camp. In her sixth year, Kate Adair will serve as the Assistant Director in charge of Schedules and Program. Though she has been busy teaching middle school at the McDonogh School in Maryland, she has been invaluable to me as I work to orient myself to the people, traditions and rhythms of Wavus. Hannah Lovejoy will serve as the Tripping Director. She has been busy collaborating with the Kieve Tripping Director, Reid Anderson, to explore new trip options, set-up the summer reservations, review our safety protocols, and order new gear. Jess Anderson, long time Health Care Manager at Kieve, will share her valuable time and her 10 years of wisdom about camper health and safety on both sides of the lake this summer. Mary Elizabeth “Mims” Montgomery has joined us from Moondance, of NC, where she has been working with young outdoor leaders through our former K-W West

program. She will serve as a part of our risk management team and run the new Wavus Counselors in Training Program (CIT), which will help us develop ‘home grown’ and outdoor savvy counselors for next summer’s adventures.

There are still other ‘not new 'types who will join us this summer – they are the women who have been part of educating a large and diverse group of students during the other three seasons through The Leadership School (TLS) at Kieve. Many of these same folks have also been out in the Maine public schools mentoring students on site through K-W’s Educator in Residence program (EIR). Still others of our awesome staff have been serving as mentors to a small group of local girls during the year through the Wavus Girls Lead program that piloted last Fall. I feel so blessed to have a large

group of experienced and caring educators working with Meg and me this summer.

We are getting excited to turn some of our past obstacles into future opportunities. A few of our trips will be exploring new areas of Maine such as the Mountains of the Moosehead Lake Region, the Moose River out of Jackman, and the Katahdin Woods and Waters way up north. The owners of this privately owned parcel of land, which abuts Baxter State Park, seek to provide both access and conservation opportunities in northern Maine.Our TLS instructors provided some volunteer hours on the property this fall to help build a relationship with this exciting new area (check out the photo on page 16). Our longer trips will enjoy an opportunity to experience the knowledge and ‘local flavor’ that only a local Registered Maine Guide can provide as they travel through areas new and old.

I will enjoy my time this spring getting to know all of the wonderful folks that make Wavus special – including many of you – and enhancing the safety and education in all elements of our Wavus summer programs. As a mother of Wavus campers myself, I have appreciated the training, inspection and equipment enhancements that have become part of making this an amazing 10th summer together on the lake as part of Kieve-Wavus Education. I can hardly wait for summer to arrive! – Kirstie

We’re all very excited to add hiking in the Katahdin Woods and Waters Recreation Area with Kieve and Wavus campers this summer.

The Moose River trip near Jackman will be a nice addition to the Wavus tripping program this summer!

It is 5:30 AM and you are awoken by the sound of your head bunkhouse

counselor. Being a member of the North Bunkerhill or North Cunningham cabin, you are not accustomed to opening your eyes in the morning and seeing darkness. Naturally then, you are a bit confused as your HBC barks out instructions; “Wake up, make your bed, grab your river duffel, fill up your water bottle, and make your way to Pasquaney. We are leaving at 6:00 sharp! And on the way to breakfast remember to drop your duffel bag into the canoe trailer.”Thirty minutes later you are now awake, having had a bowl of cereal and some juice, brushed your teeth (hopefully) and taken a seat on the Kieve bus. You settle in for a long, five hour bus ride. Confusion is now gone as you are super excited to begin your St. Croix River Trip.

The St. Croix Watershed is a vast stretch of freshwater that, among other things, serves as the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. It is managed by the St. Croix International Waterway Commission. For many decades, eleven and twelve year old Kieve Campers have travelled this river. From the put-in point in Forest City to the take

out just before the dam in Kellyland, campers have loved the experience as much as any of our wilderness trips.

During the six-day, 52-mile experience, campers get a chance to paddle across some beautiful lakes, portage around a dam in Vanceboro, and try their hand at a number of Class Two rapids all while paddling in two countries! The rapids known as Little Falls and

the Loon Bay Campsite are always memorable. And in an effort to better educate our campers and ourselves about the wilderness we travel we have been looking for local historians to partner with so they can impart their wisdom on us.

And this year we are very excited to have found Abby Pond, the Executive Director of the St. Croix International Waterway Commission. She and her team will meet each of our trips in Vanceboro and give a historical perspective of the waterway and the area. We, in turn, will be providing them with community service.

There is so much to learn about the waterway. For instance, here are some fun facts about the river:

- When most people think about World War I, they think of battlefields in Europe. But did you know that there was an attack on the St. Croix River?

One hundred years ago this year, German spy Franz von Papen attempted to destroy the Vanceboro Train Bridge with a bomb. The United States had not yet entered the war, and this bombing was the result of fears

THE ST. cRoIx RIvER TRIP

Many International boundary markers like this are placed between the US and Canada along the river.

The St. Croix River is a wonderful river to paddle with lots of Class 2 & 3 whitewater.

For us, each day is an opportunity to give a kid a Kieve Day.

To this end, I couldn’t have been paired with a better “site mentor”. Judy Cohen, the SDMS social worker, is (I hope she won’t mind reading this!) small in stature but a giant among those advocating for the rights and health of children. She’s tireless in her effort to help kids feel safe, happy and confident in who they are, and has enabled me to make the most out of my two years serving the Searsport Middle and High school. With her help, I’ve worked with advisories, core classes, clubs and after-school programs. We’ve facilitated awareness initiatives for sophomores, helped seniors think about life after high school, and recently we even managed to get an Outdoor Club up and running—in just a week I’ll take more than a dozen students to the Camden Snow for a chile lunch and some tobogganing. Yes! I’ve been involved with PBL efforts, mentorships, GSTA and Civil Rights team meetings, and every day at lunch I play basketball with

teams made up of middle and high schoolers.

Oddly enough, I most enjoy the simple conversations I have with students everyday. So many of them need the things we carry on about at TLS—kind words, encouragement, positive reinforcement, patience and compassion. Some of them, for different reasons, just need someone to sit with. You can’t really quantify the academic or intellectual benefit of a good conversation, but qualitatively the benefit is immediately obvious: kids are happier and are more likely to succeed when nice people talk to them and listen to them. Wouldn’t it be neat to see a TLS EIR in every Maine school? How many more goals would be met? How many students would feel a little bit better about who they are and where they come from? How many students would have those Kieve Days that have made so many of our lives meaningful and joyous?

Be sure to visit the KW blog to read all of the EIR blog articles, the link is on the homepage.

EIR continued from page 9

that Japan, who had just joined the fight against Germany, was sending troops across Canada. He managed to detonate the bomb on February 2, 1915 - blowing out lots of windows in Vanceboro and St. Croix, but not doing much damage to the bridge!

- There are International Boundary markers along the entire St. Croix waterway, placed there by surveyors as they established the official boundary between the US and Canada in the late 1800s. Campers, see if you can spot them sticking out of the large boulders! On one side there is a number, which identifies which marker it is; on another side, there is a distance measurement, which tells you exactly how far, from that marker, it is to the international border.

- In 1934, famous New York Met Opera star Richard Crooks established the Loon Bay Lodge, which still operates to this day on the Canadian shores of Loon Bay. A bit further downstream,

St. Croix continued from page 12 at Gleason Point, you can spot the ruins of a stone conservatory where Crooks and other Met performers such as Frank LaForge, Lili Pons, and Friedrich Shorr are rumored to have held summer soirees.

So whether you have travelled the St. Croix before or will be one of the lucky campers who will be awoken at 5:30 AM this summer, we hope you will enjoy this most impressive waterway and learn a few things along the way.

Every February and April school vacation, Leadership School

educators welcome over 50 local elementary school aged children to Kieve for our bi-annual Adventure Camp.

In February, children braved the mountains of snow around Camp Kieve, engineering and constructing complex tunnels and forts. When the air got a bit too cold, we took off our snow shoes and snow pants for baking and crafting by the fire. We heard stories of Leadership School educator, Cam, fighting the dragons of Damariscotta Lake 1,000s of years ago and put our homemade duct tape sleds to the ultimate test. Of course, the highlight of camp is always reaching the top of Kieve’s 45 foot indoor climbing wall for not only a great time, but also to foster personal growth and self-confidence.

Every year, it ’s remarkable to see how quickly students from Nobleboro Central School, Great Salt Bay, Damariscotta Montessori, Bristol Consolidated School and more come together at Camp Kieve, build relationships and embrace their next adventure as a team. “Adventure Camp is always a highlight of our fall and spring seasons, because it allows

us to build meaningful relationships with local students who we get to see year after year. It’s always fun to run into the Adventure Camp kids we

know in town after camp” says TLS educator Sam Copland. During the colder months on West Neck, when the first day of camp at Kieve and Wavus seems like only a dream, we look forward to opening our campus to local children.

Kieve lost a friend this past winter, way too soon and before his time…

Jeff Buckley was a Boys Camp Parent from 1997 – 2010. He was affectionately known as The Commodore of Kieve as the Waterfront Director in 2007. Henry recalls the first day he reported to work via boat and got hopelessly lost on the lake. We will miss him…

Jeff was from Rutledge, PA, and passed away from complications of the flu. After a successful 20-year career on Wall Street, he shifted his focus to an alternative passion as a gardener at Sisters of Saint Francis of Philadelphia’s Our Lady of Angels Convent. He was charismatic, intelligent, and always curious. He loved to sail and often found solace on his sailboat on the Navesink River or hiking mountains in Vermont, but more than anything he loved spending time with his children.

As April rains wash away the remainder of our long winter

snows, we’re already busy recruiting 7th and 8th grade girls for the Wavus Girls Lead (WGL) class of 2015. Accepted girls will spend one week at the Wavus campus followed by 5 weekends over the course of the Fall immersed in self-exploration and leadership development. Building off the Fall 2014 pilot program, it is clear that Wavus Girls Lead is a much needed resource and welcomed program for girls in the communities surrounding Kieve-Wavus.

The program is inspired by a gift of the Thomas Haas Foundation of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation in honor of Phoebe Waterman Haas, an astronomer who challenged the conventions of her time to make her own analysis and draw her own conclusions in her work and her life. Following in Phoebe’s legacy, WGL participants explore who they are as individuals, as well as in relation to one another and the world around them.With compassionate guidance, strong leadership and a network of committed mentors the girls will develop new

self-confidence and ambition as they gaze as the night sky from Hog Island, study the shores of Damariscotta Lake, paddle along coastal islands and find new ways to express their own unique sense of self.

When the Wavus Girls Lead class of 2015 arrives to campus at the end of August, they will share in the

adventures of those young women who came before them and will chart new territory as they create their own lasting legacies. In the spirit of the KW mission and values, Wavus Girls Lead creates space and provides the resources for middle school girls to actualize their unique leadership potential by finding, listening to and sharing their authentic voices.

a TRIbUTE To DIck HENRy, oNE of kIEvE’S fIRST camPERS IN �926By Christopher Herbst

For approximately the last ten years, whenever we spent time together, my grandfather (who at this point

was in his 90s) and I would engage in a unique game. He, having a lifelong affinity for writing narratives and poetry, was fond of all the famous authors and poets. As a gamely challenge, I would bring specific poems to him and recite only the first verse, leaving my grandfather the difficult task of picking up where I left off. Sure, there were occasions where he needed a little help, but remarkably, he was often successful in delivering the remaining lines verbatim, without resource. For a man in his later years to hold such sound mental capacity and profound literary appreciation is quite impressive.

One particular Irish poem I always kept in the rotation was one of my grandfather’s favorites, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree. "For those who aren’t familiar, the William Butler Yeats classic recounts the speaker’s most revered haven, a very natural and beautiful setting (also of note, this poem is the namesake for one of Kieve’s oldest structures). After his perfect recital of this poem each and every time, my grandfather and I would launch into conversation about Kieve, and how nearly 90 years after his first summer there – as a 10 year old boy from Philadelphia – he still carried some of his most treasured memories. Like making homemade ice cream in Pasquaney, and how the most coveted morning duty was being able to help in this chore (those fortunate campers were allowed to lick the spoons clean afterward). Or the famously competitive canoe tilts held on Lake Damariscotta, which have long since been retired. Well after his six summers spent on the end of West Neck Road, he still cherished the experiences he had at Kieve, holding them as Yeats eloquently describes, “In the deep heart’s core.”

On April 11th, my grandfather, Richard Henry, “Dick” to his peers, passed away. It’s very rare in life that one’s last years are spent with the engagement and spirit that Dick carried. Even at age 99, he was incredibly lucid and lively; sharing stories, singing songs, and telling jokes – some with terrible punch lines – as if he were a teenager. By all accounts, he had a decorated life’s resume: he joined the United States Navy and met his wife, a beautiful French girl from Marseilles, during World War II. He played at Wimbledon and was nationally ranked in tennis. He scaled the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, which at 14,692 feet, is roughly three Mt. Katahdins stacked on each other. And he enjoyed a wonderful career (post-Navy) in international tourism, his “gateway to peace.” But for all these wonderful achievements, Dick would often love to talk about Kieve and how those adolescent summers fostered the character traits that enabled him to do such exceptional feats later in life.

Now Dick Henry is resting comfortably with his wife Paulette, looking down upon his beloved family and friends. And I can only imagine that heaven looks something like Kieve and captures the tranquility of the sanctuary thatYeats describes, “And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow.”

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Paulette and Dick Henry with their grandson Chris at the �0th Anniversary.

back IN THE Day

Back in the day when Kieve was 5 years young. A copy of the 1930 Annual speaks volumes toward the traditions and history that have grown with Kieve over the years.

Here are a few campers back in the ‘50’s working on Morning DUTIES! Some things just don’t change… Waking up the troops in the 50s.

Bequests made through wills or trusts are an important part of Kieve-Wavus’ future because they enable individuals to make gifts that they may not have been able to make during life.

What you need to doYour estate planner is your expert, but here is a sample will and codicil* paragraph that can be included in a will or trust documents to make a bequest to Kieve-Wavus:

This gift is to be placed in the Endowment Fund of said Kieve-Wavus Education, Inc. from which a spending portion will be used to support Kieve-Wavus’ activities and programs.”*Codicil = a supplement or an appendix to a will

What Kieve-Wavus will do with the bequestWhen Kieve-Wavus receives your bequest, unless further directed by you, the spending portion will be used to support programs as determined by the Trustees. If it is your intention that a portion of the spending be directed into a specific program, please indicate by adding such language.

Farley’s maternal family is British-Kenyan and has been in the safari business for several generations. She takes the children over every spring for a month or so and I was able to join them for a week. We had a wonderful safari visiting two places I had not been to before--gorgeous country, great game-viewing, and magical moments with the children. Taylor is spreading the Kieve brand proudly this month all over Kenya!

Sarah Taylor (Wavus Staff 2007-’13) Iain and I are doing well, Jackson is an amazing little dude. We had a hard start with the feeding issues, but he’s a real chilled little guy now, and people often comment how relaxed we all are. I have been back at work (2-days a week) for a couple months now, and he comes with me, I feel very blessed to have supportive employers who

allow us to do this. However in saying that we feel that we are both ready for a change of scene over the coming months and are looking at our options for winter, which include buying a bus/motorhome and travelling round New Zealand for a year, changing jobs and towns or maybe it will be something completely different that we haven’t even thought of yet!!
