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!

Kids’ Winter Adventure Scavenger Hunt
February 20, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join the Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP) for an exciting scavenger hunt along the Philbrick Trail. We’ll be within earshot of the rumbling Kennebec River to the north as we walk through a winter forest. During this outing, you’ll come together with family and friends to discover the forgotten treasures of the natural world.
The hike will be a little over one mile with moderate 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!
