Amber has lived in the beautiful state of Maine for over half a decade. She grew up in Connecticut, where she attended Eastern Connecticut State University, and spent much of her young professional life working at the YMCA in Aquatics and Marketing. To the dismay of her family, she skipped out on her college graduation ceremony and hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2019, which sparked her enthusiasm for the outdoor recreation industry. She moved to Maine and 2020, when she decided to take a white water guide course in The Forks, ME.

From that point on, Amber has been hungry for outdoor recreation experiences, including obtaining her Maine Recreational Guide license, Wilderness First Responder, ACA Swift-water Rescue, and more. She has guided throughout the state and has worked in the ski industry for several winters. She has skills in digital marketing, having worked for Wilderness Medical Associates International as their Digital Content Specialist for several years, and is an artist with her own small business Radical River Works.

Amber believes this role with Main Street Skowhegan/Skowhegan Outdoors is her dream job and she is beyond excited to see what impacts Skowhegan Outdoors has on the greater Skowhegan community, ensuring access for all in our beautiful woods and waters.

In her role as Operations Director at Main Street Skowhegan, Tenley Skolfield is involved with writing grants, assisting with fundraising efforts, planning events, providing community outreach, organizing volunteers, and acting in a supporting role to the President & CEO

Tenley’s eclectic career comprises over 25 years experience as an administrative professional having worked at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and FedEx Office and LaTanzi, Spaulding, and Landreth LLC, on Cape Cod. She spent 13 years in northern Maine’s town of Eagle Lake where she owned and operated Fish River Lodge and served as selectman for a term. She became a registered Maine Master guide in 1999, specializing in Maine big game and upland bird hunting, trout and salmon fishing, flat water paddling, photo safaris, hiking, and introducing novice and youth to Maine outdoor adventure. She is a life member of the Maine ProfessionalGuides Association.

Tenley studied business administration at New Hampshire College combined with environmental studies course work at Bowdoin College.

A native of Maine and graduate of Mt. Ararat High School, Tenley grew up on Great Island in Harpswell. She moved to Cape Cod in 2017, returning to Maine in 2023 to settle in Solon with her life partner, Kevin Antonovitch, a German shorthaired pointer named Tinker, Arrow the mini rex rabbit, and Hank Bocefus the Russian tortoise. When Tenley isn’t at Main Street Skowhegan she can be found on the water or in the woods of Maine. Her favorite activities are turkey and deer hunting, fishing for brook trout and salmon, paddling on a pond or stream, and trying to explore every nook and cranny of the state.
