Meet Camp Guide- Sue Bragg

What is your experience working outdoors?

I started hiking and camping when I was a teenager, and later worked for about 8 years as an outdoor guide. I led canoeing & backpacking expeditions in Florida, Minnesota, Maine, and New York.  Now I live in Maine full-time, and my outdoor time is for fun: I like to hike, cross-country ski, and want to learn sea-kayaking. I have my current Wilderness First Responder. 

What is your experience with kids?

All of my trip-leading experience has been with middle- and high-schoolers. More recently I have been working as a case manager and behavioral health professional for kids  of all ages with mental health needs. 

What is a interesting fact about you?

I had the chance to participate in the fasting aspect of Ramadan while in the Peace Corps in Morocco.  No eating or drinking all day... in the desert... in August! It was both one of the most unpleasant and one of the most wonderful months of my life.

What are you excited about?

It is really exciting, as an educator, when you get to learn alongside your students.  As this will be my first time working in Indiana, I look forward to exploring the landscape with the campers!

Lagoon Outlook Garden Ribbon Cutting

Image
Our Northern Lights Eco Adventures campers had fun volunteering in the #LagoonOutlookGarden in Marquette Park Gary this summer.  The Volunteer Office for Community Accessibility Resource, and Training is seeking volunteers for several projects. If you're interested please follow and message their page on facebook . From Gary's Miller Spotlight's Faceboook: Saturday, September 11, 2018, we celebrated the Lagoon Outlook Garden. Over the course of 2017 and 2018 volunteers have been working on creating an accessible garden at Marquette Park Lagoon. The idea of creating an accessible garden came as a natural continuation of the commitment Gary’s Miller Spotlight’s transportation and infrastructure action group, Access Miller, has to creating a life-long community for all. In 2016, with the support and partnership of Causes for Change International, N.W.I.P.A., the City of Gary, Legacy Foundation, Mortar Net Solutions and generous donations
