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 Hike
December 27, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Sorry, but this event has been canceled due to weather and road conditions. See you at our next event!
Join us for a hike at the Yankee Woodlot. This is a great hike for beginners who want to come out for a nice walk in the woods. We’ll use headlamps and flashlights to illuminate the way. The total hike will be about 1 mile with little elevation gain. This is a great way to begin your weekend and a great activity for all ages and abilities. Well behaved dogs are welcome, remember to bring poop bags. If we have snow by this time bring your snowshoes, or let us know if you need to borrow a pair.
Free outdoor programming is made possible thanks to these generous partners:
