Dear Readers,
August in Greenwich is a reminder that some of life’s greatest joys are simple: a well-made salad bursting with seasonal strawberries, a shared story under the stars, or a weekend escape that reconnects us to nature and each other.
This month’s issue invites you to explore the world beyond our doorstep, while celebrating the comfort of home. Travel contributor Anna Barnes whisks us away to Paws Up in Montana. A luxury family resort that combines the thrill of the wilderness with the ease of upscale living. It’s a summer escape designed for every age, with plenty of space to unplug and reconnect.
Closer to home, we spotlight Camp Seton , a place where the spirit of adventure is alive and well. With nature trails, lakefront activities, and lifelong memories in the making, it’s a Greenwich treasure you’ll want to rediscover.
In this issue, you’ll also meet Fairfield County native, Britta Mulderrig, the compassionate founder of Jasper, a platform helping families and individuals navigate grief through shared experience. Her story is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of community.
And as always, our resident dietitian shares a delicious way to savor the season— this time with a fresh, vibrant strawberry salad that’s perfect for al fresco dining.
Whether you’re hitting the road or staying close to home, we hope this issue helps you slow down, savor more, and embrace the wonder of summer. One sunkissed moment at a time.

TELL US ABOUT THE IDEA TO CREATE JASPER?
To know me over the last 15 years was to know my dog Jasper. Jasper was my baby.
Jasper passed away a year-and-a-half ago. During that time, two of my best friends lost parents. We started to have these profound conversations about loss and purpose, and also about “disenfranchised” grief: suicide, pet loss, drug overdose, and estrangement.
I kept wondering why it was so difficult to feel supported. Why is grief so taboo and so scary for people, especially in western cultures, to discuss out loud? I figured that if I am feeling this way, others must be too.
The current tools to deal with grief are static content like podcasts, and time-boxed care through therapy. These are helpful, but they are not always dynamic and fluid to our evolving emotional states during grief.
The Jasper app is a grief support digital companion that blends community, curated tools, and on-demand care. People can sign-up for sessions led by grief counselors, or chat privately with a grief counselor or community member.
TAKE US THROUGH YOUR JOURNEY TO FINDING YOUR DOG JASPER, HOW DID YOU KNOW HE WAS “THE ONE” (OR AS SOME ON TIKTOK CALL IT, YOUR “SOUL DOG”)?
I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut, where I went to public schools. After high school I went to the University of Tampa, where I studied PR and advertising with a focus on web development and design. After college I started working with Tampa’s pro-hockey team the Tampa Bay Lightning. A lot of my friends left Tampa after college, and I always knew I wanted a dog as a companion. I started looking, prioritizing finding a female dog. But something hit me when I saw Jasper.
I remember being in front of a litter of black and tan Maltese Yorkies (Morkies). He was going crazy, jumping up and down, so excited and so full of energy. I left with him that day, and he was by my side ever since.

After that we moved around a lot–to Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and eventually New York City with Google. I was excited to be closer to my family, who still live in Darien. An opportunity to grow Uber in Connecticut came to me in June 2014. I took the role and moved back to Stamford to manage Uber’s marketing in Connecticut.
Moving around never bothered me, because I always had Jasper. He made me feel like the most important person in the world, and I never felt alone.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE LOSING JASPER?
Jasper’s death was heartbreaking. I’m still not sure how I made it through.
When Jasper got sick, I was actually in the process of freezing my eggs. I found out that he had cancer the day before my retrieval.
While he was sick, I was incredibly lucky to have a support system, including my vet Dr. Shelley Skopit at Park Animal Hospital in Darien, and specialist Dr. Marnin Foreman and team at Cornell Vet in Stamford.
HOW DID THIS MAKE YOU REEVALUATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GRIEF?
I always knew Jasper’s loss was going to absolutely devastate me. But nobody can prepare you for how viscerally that void is immediately felt.
After Jasper died I asked my therapist Stephen what I should do, and something that he said stuck with me: I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t truly feel my grief and work through it.
WHEN DID JASPER THE COMMUNITY AND APP LAUNCH? HAS ANYTHING LIKE IT EXISTED?
Grief is one of the biggest consumer sectors, as it’s something that everyone has to deal with at some point in life. But there is little to no innovation in this space.
Realizing how difficult it was to navigate grief in one place, I launched Jasper by myself with the help of a psychiatrist nurse practitioner friend. At first, I reached out to some people on Facebook and Reddit, and asked if they would be interested in joining.
“We want to be a platform for emotional transitions, supporting people across a lifetime of loss, change and resilience.”
And the interest grew and grew. One in five of our members come from referrals. We now have multiple virtual support groups around the world every day, talking about issues like early grief, opening up your home to a new pet, and navigating the new normal of routine without your pet.
I recently brought on my co-founder Todd Sifleet, a former Uber colleague who is an artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) expert.
We’re building an artificial intelligence component as a supplement, not a substitute for human care. This means counselors will be accessible, and support will be instant and available 24/7.
Pet loss is our first area to tackle, and then we will move on to other forms of “disenfranchised” grief: those dealing with pregnancy and fertility grief, loss to suicide and overdose, and non-death griefs like estrangement and identity shifts.
We want to be a platform for emotional transitions, supporting people across a lifetime of loss, change and resilience. In a time when bereavement is rushed and many losses are considered unworthy of support, we want to shift how people deal with hard things in life

INGREDIENTS
(serves 6-8)
SALAD:
• 1 C quinoa, dry, rinsed
• 6 oz baby spinach
• 6 oz arugula
• 32 oz strawberries
• ¾ C feta cheese, crumbled
• ¾ C pumpkin seeds, hulled
DRESSING:
• ½ C olive oil
• ½ C honey
• ¼ C balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tbsp balsamic glaze
• Juice from 1 lemon (approximately 3 Tbsp)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
5. Add all dressing ingredients (olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, salt, pepper) to a medium sized bowl. Mix together with a whisk or spoon until all ingredients are well combined.
6. Pour dressing over salad contents and use a large spoon or a serving spoon and large serving fork to mix all components until dressing is evenly distributed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Note: This salad can be stored in an airtight container and stored for 1-2 days. Since the dressing is mixed into the salad, it will taste best when first made so it is recommended to serve immediately.
1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Typically 1 C dry quinoa is brought to a boil with 2 C water and simmered for 15 minutes until quinoa is slightly translucent with a visible ring and all water is absorbed. Transfer to a bowl, set cooked quinoa aside and let cool while proceeding with next steps.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry spinach and arugula. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Wash, pat dry and cut strawberries into quarters (or smaller if strawberries are very large). Add to greens.
4. Add feta cheese, pumpkin seeds and cooked quinoa to large mixing bowl. Set bowl aside.
This Strawberry Spinach Salad will have you enjoying the best flavors of summer before the season comes to an end. The strawberries, arugula, and slightly sweet and citrusy dressing are the perfect combination of seasonal flavor for this light yet satisfying salad. The quinoa, cheese and pumpkin seeds provide satiating protein, while the greens, berries, quinoa and pumpkin seeds provide gut-healthy fiber. Plus, this salad is suitable for both gluten free and vegetarian diets – and can be made appropriate for vegan diets by omitting the cheese (or choosing for a plant-based alternative) and swapping the honey for pure maple syrup. It’s the perfect salad for entertaining and enjoying the last of summer barbecues, poolside get-togethers and dinner parties under the stars!

Nestled in the heart of Greenwich, Camp Seton has been inspiring young minds through hands-on outdoor experiences for over 50 years
ARTICLE BY KELLIE KERWIN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SHARON STRAIN, CAMP SETON
Come discover the spirit of adventure at Camp Seton. Camping and outdoor exploration have been at the heart of the Greenwich Council Scouting experience for more than a century. Since 1912 with noted author, naturalist and Boy Scouts of America founder Ernest Thompson Seton as the first Council President, generations of young adventurers have found inspiration and excitement in the great outdoor, where imagination thrives and lifelong memories are made. Set on over 240 scenic acres, Camp Seton has stood as the ultimate destination for summer adventure, inviting youth of all backgrounds to unplug, explore, and grow. There are two incredible camps to choose from over five weeks, depending on your grade and regardless of prior Scouting experience, when considering Camp Seton this summer (or next), including Cub Scout Camp and Scout Adventure Camp. While sessions may be in full swing right now, there are still opportunities to step outside and into an adventure with camper spots available for Week 3: Winter Wonderland (July 21-25), Week 4: Emergency Services (July 28-August 1) and Week 5: Mythology (August 4-8). Get ready for your children to unplug from screens and reconnect with nature, imagination and each other.
Cub Scout Camp is open to boys and girls entering grade 2 through 5 and offers a week-long journey into the world of outdoor exploration, team-building and themed excitement. Each week, campers explore a wide variety of hands-on activities, including:
• Fishing
• Campfire programs
• Boating & Swimming
• Handicrafts
• Archery & BB Shooting
• Hiking & Bouldering
Campers are grouped into age-appropriate dens - Wolves (entering 2nd grade), Bears (3rd), and Webelos I & II (entering 4th and 5th) - ensuring every child feels included and challenged at the right level. While daily schedules are designed by grade, everyone comes together each Friday for a festive camp-wide celebration featuring themed activities and a closing campfire ceremony.
Scout Adventure Camp for boys and girls entering grades 6 through 8, offers the ultimate summer experience filled with action, growth and unforgettable outdoor challenges to build resilience, confidence and outdoor know-how. Campers can take part in a variety of hands-on programs designed to both thrill and teach, including:
• Archery & Rifle Ranges
• Climbing Tower, Bouldering Wall & Repelling
• Boating & Swimming
• Nature Exploration
• Scout Skills & Survival Techniques
Whether it's learning to light a fire, aim for a bullseye or navigate a trail, campers gain practical knowledge while having a blast in the outdoors.
Rates for each session are available online and parents should take note that every year, Camp Seton runs a Campership Program that provides financial aid, so that every child can take part in summer day camp regardless of their ability to pay the full camp fees.
In addition to summer camps, Camp Seton is host to numerous scouting events throughout the year, including Scouts for Camporeers, the Cuboree, the Klondike Derby, Fishing Derby, Pinewood Derby, survival skills courses and many others. Scouting has a strong presence in the Town of Greenwich through Cub Scout Packs (5-10 years old), Scout Boys and Scout Girls (11-18 years old), Venturing Crews (coed 14-18 years old) and Explorer Posts (coed 14-20 years old).

campsites, lean-tos and cabins, as well as several buildings to meet in, two spectacular lakes, five miles of hiking trails, an outdoor swimming pool and 40-foot climbing tower - all amenities enjoyed by boys, girls and families of the Greenwich Council, Boy Scouts of America. As a new school year approaches, students are encouraged to learn more about the current programs and consider joining their local pack or troop.
At the elementary school level, which services Cub Scouting and is a great entry-level to the overall initiative, children and families can expect to have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values with ten purposes related to the overall mission of Boy Scouts of America. There are four local packs to choose from: Pack 9 (North Street, Julian Curtis), Pack 20 (Cos Cob), Pack 23 (North Mianus, Greenwich Country Day, International School at Dundee) and Pack 35 (Glenville). Scouts BSA for boys has six troops and Scouts BSA for girls has three troops around town all available for joining starting now. The Venturing coed program was created to remind young adults to always pursue life in the spirit of adventure. Imagine zip lining, whitewater rafting, scuba diving and challenging activities for friends to have the time of their lives while learning about life, together. And finally, Explorer Posts provides a great way for young adults to get insight into careers in law enforcement, hospitals, and civil service, among others.

Tucked into the untamed beauty of Montana’s Blackfoot Valley, Paws Up Montana has mastered the delicate art of balance: adventure and serenity, wilderness and refinement, ruggedness and sophistication. But what truly sets this iconic property apart is how effortlessly it caters to families — elevating a traditional vacation into an unforgettable experience steeped in luxury, nature, and connection.
Just thirty-five miles east of the Missoula airport and set on a sprawling 37,000 acre working cattle ranch, Paws Up is more than just a glamping getaway. With vast open skies, the meandering Blackfoot river and dense pines, it offers a fully immersive Western experience while delivering amenities and service that rival any top-tier resort. And the accolades prove it: Paws Up recently became the only glamping property in North America to be awarded two Michelin Keys, which recognizes the resort’s exceptional hospitality, culinary excellence, and impeccable design. Well deserved.
What makes Paws Up so extraordinary for families is the range of accommodations. From lavish tents to expansive timber homes and secluded estates, everyone can be sure to find their perfect blend of comfort and nature. The property boasts
three-bedroom glamping tents, which are the only of their kind on the continent, to allow larger families to stay together while experiencing all the magic of Montana. These spacious dwellings come with en-suite bathrooms with heated floors and private decks overlooking the Blackfoot River or sweeping meadows. Personal camp butlers and chefs ensure that every detail from s’mores by the fire to elevated Montana-inspired dinners are seamlessly taken care of.
Adventure is the pinnacle of Paws Up, and with 70 outdoor experiences —the largest roster of any resort in North America — every family member can find their thrill. Grab your cowboy boots because days here can begin with a sunrise hot air balloon ride and end with a cattle drive at golden hour. In between, options range from fly fishing and ATV tours to archery, hiking, clay shooting, and even paintball in the forest. For younger guests, the Kids Adventure Club program introduces them to the Montana wilderness through scavenger hunts, geocaching, archery, wildlife education, and more allowing parents to enjoy an afternoon at the spa or guided wine tasting.
The culinary program at Paws Up is equally show-stopping as the landscape. Overseen by Executive Chef Sunny Jin, formerly of The French Laundry, the dining experience is a refined take on rustic, with locally sourced game, produce, and fish taking center stage. Chuckwagon dinners, hosted seasonally, feature fresh meat, vegetables, and most importantly huckleberry cobbler, are cooked to perfection over an open fire while the live music and the rushing waters of the Blackfoot River make the ambiance of the evening. Seasonal chuckwagon dinners offer an unforgettable feast, where dinner, and the star of the show— huckleberry cobbler—are cooked to perfection over an open flame. Live music, outdoor games, and the rushing Blackfoot waters make for an incredible ambience.
A stay at Paws Up is far more than a luxury escape — it’s a breath of fresh air and haven for memory-making where families can unplug and reconnect with nature without giving up the comforts we all want on a vacation. Whether roasting marshmallows under the stars, galloping through open pastures, or simply watching the sun dip below the beautiful Montana mountains, every moment here feels both exquisitely curated yet wildly free. paws.com

There’s something truly special about inviting your child into the kitchen—not just for the cookies or cupcakes, but for the confidence, creativity, and connection that come with it. Cooking with your children isn’t just a fun way to pass the time; it’s an opportunity to build lifelong skills and memories that stick.
Sure, teaching a young child how to crack an egg or measure flour can test your patience—but hang in there. With a little trial and a fair amount of error, they’ll start to develop the fine motor skills that allow them to prep a recipe all on their own one day. The best part? They’ll gain confidence along the way, one scoop, stir, and sprinkle at a time.
Cooking together also taps into something a little magical—memory. The smell of cookies baking or chili simmering on the stove can instantly transport us back to childhood. That’s not just nostalgia talking—science backs it up. Our sense of smell is closely tied to autobiographical memory, especially memories formed early in life. So those sweet, savory scents? They’re more powerful than you might think.
The key is to start simple. Let your toddler play with mixing bowls, spoons, and measuring cups. These little moments of pretend play actually help build the fine motor skills needed for real kitchen tasks. Begin with small jobs—scooping flour, flattening cookie dough with a rolling pin—and gradually add more steps as your child becomes more confident.
It won’t be perfect. The flour might fly, the sugar might spill, and the measurements might be slightly off—and that’s okay. Embrace the mess, stay patient, and focus on the fun. A dash of encouragement and a sprinkle of praise go a long way in keeping your little chef engaged and excited.
Over time, you’ll see the magic unfold: a child who’s not only learning how to cook but also growing more independent, capable, and proud of what they’ve created. And who knows? Maybe one day, they’ll pass those same recipes—and memories—on to their own kids.
• 1 cup and 2 tablespoons white flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 tablespoons buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• Optional: add 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Put the oatmeal in a blender or food processor and pulse for about a minute, until it’s reduced to a rough powder. Add the ground oatmeal to the whole wheat and 1/2 cup of the white flour, baking soda and salt to the bowl of an electric mixer affixed with a paddle attachment, and turn on to mix. Add butter and blend on medium speed until the butter has been incorporated and the mix looks a little like wet sand. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, honey and almond extract and blend. If the dough looks too wet to roll, add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the blender.
3. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Cover completely and chill in the fridge for at least one hour, up to overnight.
4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place dough on a lightly floured surface (using the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour). Roll out until 1/8 inch thick. Cut out with desired cookie cutters and bake for five to seven minutes, based on your preference. Five minutes will get you a softer cracker, while seven will get you a crisp cracker.
Enjoy!
