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!

Cardio Hike
February 13, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Come raise your heart rate with the Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP)! We’ll build a sweat tackling the Heselton Street Trails at a fast walking pace. You can make it even more challenging by leaving behind your snowshoes and building toward a slight jog! This program is perfect for people looking to improve their cardiovascular endurance in a group setting.
The hike will be around two miles with quick changes in elevation. Bring a headlamp or flashlight if you have one, and if you need to borrow snowshoes, let us know!
