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!

Headlamp Snowshoe Hike
March 6, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Come out for a hike beneath the stars! You’ll discover the contrasting beauty of snow and darkness as you meander through Coburn Woods, a local favorite in Skowhegan. During this outing, coaches will share their expertise and offer tips for experienced and novice snowshoers alike. It’ll be a great way to meet new people and avoid the winter blues. Hot cocoa will be provided!
The hike will be around three miles with slight changes in elevation. This trail is perfect for all ages and skill levels; it’s even pet-friendly! Don’t forget to bring poop bags and clean up after your pet! Bring a headlamp or flashlight if you have one, and if you need to borrow snowshoes, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/Eq3y8rM4LnEFzLhHA
This is a free community event of the Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP) of Main Street Skowhegan.
