Michael Alberse – Cape Cod & the Islands Growing up on the New Hampshire seacoast, Joanna Papadakis’ love of salty sea air and all things outdoors runs as deep as the ocean itself!

As we are taking off into the new year, thoughts of summer are aplenty here in Brunswick. As students enroll and the excitement builds, the preparation begins; preparation looks different for every trip, from training bike rides to breaking in boots.
