Why Boothbay Harbor?
Boothbay Harbor is one of Maine’s most photographed coastal villages – a postcard town of white church steeples, working piers, sailboats and seafood shacks. Your days off can include whale watching cruises, kayaking, exploring the world-class Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, biking to lighthouses, or eating your body weight in lobster rolls. Portland is a short drive away, and Boston, Acadia National Park and even Canada are within road-trip range.
Because this position runs from summer into fall, you’ll also experience the legendary New England foliage season – something most Work & Travel students never get to see.
About Maine
Maine is famous for its rocky coast, lobster, Acadia National Park and island lodges. Students often work in coastal resorts, restaurants and wilderness lodges in one of the most beautiful corners of New England.
