Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program
Join our AmeriCorps coaches for free, guided outdoor activities!
Check out our calendar of programs, trainings, clinics, virtual activities, and more below!
Program update – May 28, 2020
Though we initially planned to reconvene in-person programs for June, in order to ensure YOUR safety and the safety of our coaches, we have made the very difficult decision to postpone in-person activities until July. Thank you for bearing with us as we navigate these difficult times.
We are excited to rollout our summer calendar over the next few weeks! It will include local hiking adventures, paddling excursions, mountain bike rides, and more! New this year, we’ll also be leading multi-day trips to Maine destinations—and we hope you’ll plan to join in on the fun! We can’t wait to share our plans with you!
In the meantime, please like and follow the Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program Facebook Page for the latest updates and access to all digital content, including a camp cooking video series (coming soon!), nature meditation videos, a virtual outdoor-themed book club, fitness challenges, tutorial videos (like how to stand-up paddleboard), and Animal Pen Pals!

AARP Sunset Stroll
March 3, 2020 @ 4:45 pm - 5:30 pm
See the Debe River Walk Trail in a new light! You’ll cross the walking bridge, pausing midway for breathtaking views of the Kennebec River Gorge in the glow of sunset. You’ll then meander along a wide, paved trail, which provides a more intimate perspective of the rushing river. Watch for wildlife or catch a sweat on the outdoor fitness stations–this underrated trail has so much to offer! It’s a perfect opportunity to meet new people and get some fresh air!
The entire walk is about one mile. It’s low impact, plowed, and pet-friendly! Don’t forget to bring poop bags and clean up after your pet! Parking is available behind M. Thai Restaurant.
This is a free community event of the Skowhegan Americorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP) of Main Street Skowhegan in collaboration with AARP Maine.
