This summer, Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) is once again partnering with Maine Outdoor School (MOS) to host Watershed Camp along the Orange River in Whiting for youth ages 10-13.
Watershed Camp is centered around the discovery of the local Orange River watershed which includes miles of fresh water, marsh, and forest teeming with wildlife – the perfect setting to explore, get inspired, learn, and have lots of fun!
Through activities such as canoeing, hiking, hands-on exploration, active nature games, and mindful journaling, campers will be introduced to their local watershed and equipped with the knowledge and skills for a lifetime of scientific learning. They will also receive a first-hand introduction to the field of conservation and stewardship, while growing confidence recreating outdoors and developing a strong connection to the natural world.
Camp will be held daily Monday-Thursday, August 10-13th, and will be led by Registered Maine Guide Hazel Stark, a co-founder of Maine Outdoor School, and a MCHT staff. This program is FREE, but there are limited spots and advance registration is required. Registration will be a lottery to give all families a fair chance at a spot in the popular camp. Registration for the lottery opens April 1st and participants will be notified after June 15th if they have been selected.
