Skowhegan Outdoors had the great opportunity to help out with Overman Academy’s Adventure Club end of year camping trip at the Flagstaff Lake Hut with Maine Huts & Trails. This was an awesome opportunity for these learners to try something new, practice their hiking skills, and have a positive outdoor experience! It’s been a great semester and we hope to continue this amazing partnership in the fall!

Skowhegan Outdoors brought a group from Build Maine out on the Skowhegan Gorge for a pre-conference paddle this morning and it was a treat. One of the best ways to see Skowhegan is from the water! Big thanks to the Build Maine crew for getting out there with us.
