Misha Barker

ADVENTURE MENTOR

Misha Barker is a third year staff member at Hearty Roots. Though originally from Boothbay, Misha spent most of her life in New York City and Boston. As a summer camper for most of her childhood, she was always drawn back to the woods and waters of Maine. Upon leaving Salem State University, she relocated back to the Mid-Coast region. When she’s not at camp, you can find her behind a camera, both for her wedding photography business and just for the sake of capturing the beauty around her. What drew her to the program was the incredible sense of community it offers campers and families, and the ability to provide nontraditional learning opportunities. Misha’s heart lies in the Arts. She hopes to bring campers another level of connection with themselves and their surroundings by giving them a variety of means of expressing themselves through art and play, and believes that there’s no better place to do that than the beautiful outdoors of Maine.
