Summer Athletic Opportunities
We have a number of summer athletic opportunities at Leland & Gray. We have compiled all of our camp information and summer athletic opportunities to one location which can be found here.
Whale Watch Field Trip
Thank you to everyone for allowing students to go on the aquarium and whale watch field trip. We had a long day - 6 am to 10:30 pm!
We saw 5-7 Minke whales and 12-15 Humpback whales as well as both Gray and Harbor Seals.
The accompanying naturalist thinks we saw ~ 3 different mother/ calf pairs. One pair treated us to a breaching spectacle at the end with the calf copying its mother.
If you're interested in knowing more, the naturalist will post an update on their blog about the different whales we saw in about a week's time.

All-in-all an awesome trip with perfect weather for it. And no one got sea sick!
The Leland and Gray Players present the production of Almost, Maine
The Leland and Gray Players present a production of Almost, Maine by John Carian on June 1-3 at the Dutton Gym in Townshend VT.
This production has nine short vignettes that allow the audience to see the heartbeat between human beings as they struggle through life in the search for love. Almost, Maine feels so utterly real, yet the situations are oddly surreal.
A woman’s heart is broken and shattered, literally as though it were slate from a roof. A man turns all his physical love from his heart into an engagement ring cradled in a red bag. Two women literally fall to the ground in love, their knees giving out, making it impossible to stand. A shoe falls from the sky, symbolizing a lost relationship.
These moments of surrealism highlight the power of love and make us as theatre participants shiver and sigh in delight and surprise. Almost, Maine encourages the audience to feel alive in their hearts. To feel so deeply in love means one is willing to break one’s own heart in the process. What happens in this process is surprising and tantalizing for everyone involved, both onstage and off.
Performances are:
- Friday June 1 at 7:30
- Sat June 2 at 3pm and 7:30 pm
- Sun June 3 at 3pm.
Tickets are available at the door; $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.
