Carolyne Doubman - Co-Director
Carolyne is a teacher and coach at Episcopal Academy, in Merion, PA. During the school year she lives in Philadelphia with her dog, Scout, who can't wait to learn to swim this summer at Wavus. Carolyne has a Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond and a Master's in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. She spent every summer of her youth at a girls' camp in Maine. In fact, many of her closest friends are "camp friends;" and though she loves her 3 brothers and her parents, the saddest days she can remember as a child were spent driving home to Pennsylvania after camp was over each summer. Carolyne's favorite thing to do is laugh... but a good golf shot takes a close second. She looks forward to learning the ways of Wavus this summer.

Tookie Bright - Junior Wavus Director
My name is Caroline "Tookie" Bright, and this is my second year with Wavus. I am a graduate of the University of New England and received a degree in Psychology with a minor in Medical Biology. I have previously worked the past two years as a social worker in Portland, Maine and enjoyed last winter at Sugarloaf USA teaching snowboarding. This will be my fourth summer as a camp counselor and I'm looking forward to everything from sailing around Damariscotta Lake to art projects of all kinds! I love photography and I also enjoy playing lacrosse and field hockey. Can't wait to see you soon!

Lindsay Anderson - Wilderness Tripping Director
Lindsay is very excited to join the Wavus community this summer. She recently found her passion teaching science and coaching at Moses Brown School in Providence after working as a geologist. She has spent many days in Northern New England backpacking, kayaking, and swimming during summers growing up and during college, and she believes that wilderness trips are a perfect way for girls to gain confidence in a new community and place. She is excited to finally combine her love of kids and the outdoors and is looking forward to living on a lake in Maine again and to see you this summer!
