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!

Stargazing & S’mores
March 24, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
What’s a better combination than campfires, s’mores, stars, and smiles? Not much. Venture out to Lake George Regional Park for a fun-filled night! We’ll take a short headlamp hike along the lakeshore, and afterward, we’ll start a campfire and create s’more masterpieces. All materials will be provided! While we’re having our fill of roasted greatness, coaches will take you on a tour of the night sky. This will be an evening you won’t want to miss!
This program is perfect for all ages and abilities. Make sure to bring plenty of water and a headlamp or flashlight if you have one! Meet us at the last parking lot on the West Side.
This is a free community event of the Skowhegan AmeriCorps Outdoor Recreation Program (SAORP) of Main Street Skowhegan in collaboration with Lake George Regional Park.
