The Adventurer

• Being on the mountain 6 days a week has its challenges. To fuel my day, I start with White Mountain Ski Co Espresso, roasted locally by my cousin, whose dad is an alumnus, and I never leave home without my Craft Sportswear Baselayer.

• Rumpl Puffy Blanket is the coziest insulated blanket when you’re lounging outside. Digital Marketing Strategist Alex Molloy likes to keep it in her pack for those brisk fall or winter hikes when a summit sunrise coffee is warranted.
• Nemo Lightweight Insulated Sleeping Pad “Best purchase I’ve made for Out Back so far” says Jordan Graham, Dean of Academics.

• Northwoods by Daniel Mason. Recommended by both Bruce Barton and Dean of Academics Jordan Graham via Mike Carrigan and Marilee Lin!
• 5000 Days Like This One by Jane Brox is among my personal favorites, says Bruce Barton. The Kirkus Review says it best, "This is quite beautiful music, the sound of a family's life that keeps ringing in a daughter's ears." — Kirkus Reviews
• Never Enough by Jennifer Wallace is a great non-fiction for parents raising competitive teens while learning how to fight back against toxic achievement culture.

• Food! Anything from Gusto in Center Harbor or the Squam Lake Inn says Dean of Academics Jordan Graham.
• Wide Open World: How Volunteering Around the World Changed One Family's Lives Forever by John Marshall. Recommended by Community Service Coordinator and Mathematics Teacher Pam Mulcahy.

• From Director of Publications and Creative Content Greg Kwasnik, “I film a lot of the video content for Holderness School, and this winter I’m excited to use our new Osmo Action 5 Pro. It’s a small action camera that’s a direct competitor to GoPro, but with a larger sensor size that produces cleaner video in low light. When you film in New Hampshire in the winter, that’s an important thing to consider. There’s just a ton of cool tech packed into this small camera! 
• Walking Apron. The best step-into apron for full coverage from clay, paint, cooking... you name it! (They have kids sizes too!)
