Since fall is shaping up to be such a beautiful season this year, we here at The PORT are working hard to take advantage of it -- and that means getting outside.
We kicked off the second Trailblazers session yesterday afternoon by taking 6 middle school students for an afternoon hike at Hedgehog Mountain. Highlights include playing a few rounds of Camouflage (hide-and-seek in the woods), finding a live salamander, and trying out a wide variety of walking sticks. The guys are really looking forward to our upcoming hike of Pleasant Mountain in Denmark, as well as a Leave No Trace workshop at the end of the month.
For PORT Outdoors, our next trip is also a hike: Tumbledown Mountain. After last spring's group was unable to reach the summit, our leadership team decided to once again challenge this classic Maine mountain. We're scheduled to depart at 8am on Sunday, November 8th and spend the day hiking in Mount Blue State Park. There is no cost to participate in this trip, and The PORT will cover both transportation and a picnic lunch. If you're interested in signing up, stop by the teen center to pick up a form or to ask any questions.
See you on the mountain!
