Autorenporträt
Author Craig Newberger served as the Lower School science coordinator at Germantown Academy in Pennsylvania over three decades. Combining hands-on investigations with outdoor explorations, Craig nurtured a passion for science and nature in thousands of inquisitive minds. He led a variety of natural science trips for his students and their families, ranging from Costa Rica to Cape Cod. Craig's belief in immersing students in firsthand experiences led him to dedicate decades of summers in Maine where he and his wife, Trudy, directed the National Audubon Society Youth Ecology Camp on Hog Island, founded and directed the Family Camp, and joined the instructional team for Audubon's camp for educators. Craig has also worked as a naturalist at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History and directed an environmental education program connected with the Cape Cod National Seashore. Craig plays guitar and hammered dulcimer and he is known for his sing-alongs at assemblies and campfires. Craig is the author of "Spring Processional: Encounters with a Waking World."
