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!

(CANCELLED) Maple Gauntlet

March 21, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 11:00 am

$10

This 5K challenge is the ultimate test of that good ol’ Mainer moxie. Where else can you run (or walk—you do you, bub) along the scenic Kennebec River AND stuff your face with not just any whoopie pies, but whoopie pies made with Somerset County’s claim to fame: maple syrup?! Come one, come all, and #getwhooped. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

Starting at the Main Street Skowhegan Office (48 Court St. Skowhegan, ME), you’ll scarf down a maple whoopie pie and begin your 5K journey, where along the way there will be five more whoopie pie checkpoint. You must eat one at every stop to qualify for glory at the finish line! Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as he/she/they with the best costume. Extra points if it’s maple or whoopie pie themed!

Pre-registration is $10 until Friday, March 20 at this link: https://fundly.com/maple-gauntlet#. Registration on the morning of the race is $15 cash only. Your registration fee will cover your entry and registration swag bag. If you fundraise an additional $40 beyond the registration fee you qualify for one of our awesome race shirts! All proceeds from this event benefit Skowhegan community revitalization projects.
