What’s on our Horizon…
February flew by in a flash! We were thrilled to host programming on 26 of 28 days this month, bringing people together from across Maine for adventure, connection, and community. From a full week of indoor and outdoor exploration during February Break to a five-day winter clinic for Veterans, every day was filled with energy, learning, and plenty of smiles.
Want to keep up with everything we’re up to? Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, where we share highlights, photos, and all the fun happening throughout the state. We can’t wait to have you join us at our next program!
