Isaac Marnik, Assistant Director of the EdGE program says, “The EdGE program has three summer camp locations. We have one in Machias, Millbridge, and Cherryfield. We give [kids] a lot of options so they have a lot of experiences. Some kids learn how to play chess that haven’t done that, learn how to computer code that haven’t done that before. It’s just a place to come together with their friends and have a positive experience over the summer.”

The camps were designed to help bridge the learning gap that takes place in the summer isn’t in session.
Director Charlie Harrington said “We think with the reading we do, the recipes we use, a lot of the opportunities around, the robots the computers, i think it really is a helpful piece of what we do for kids in the summer and for families].”

Sunday was a reunion of the Mission and Wilson Chapel at Oceans Point. Wilson Chapel was celebrating its 100th Anniversary. Mission President Reverand Scott Planting gave the Sunday service marking the 96th year someone from Maine Seacoast Mission spoke at a Wilson Chapel service.
The service ended with a tribute to friend, musician, and Wilson Chapel organist Danny Beal, who died in January 2017. Churchgoers and Castlebay sang Danny Beal’s favorite hymn, Let The Lower Lights Be Burning. Here is a rendition of that hymn.
