Description

On Tuesday July 16th, we will set off on our first overnight trip of the summer! We will begin our day bright and early at Katahdin Gear Library in Millinocket, where we will discuss our day and activities ahead, as well as do a gear check as a group to ensure everybody is prepared appropriately for our adventure. This trip will consist of two moderate hikes, plus 2 nights of tent camping, all within Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument. Access to an outhouse will be available, but no running water. Transportation: Transportation from Katahdin Gear Library, to hiking locations, and back to KGL will be provided. A pickup location in the northern end of the region can be arranged if desired. Food: Food will be provided beginning with dinner the evening of the 16th, through breakfast on the 18th. We ask that your child come prepared the first day having had a nutritious breakfast, plus a bagged lunch for our first hike and any extra snacks your child may want throughout the trip. However, we believe that access to the outdoors is for everyone and do not want food to be a barrier for this trip, so please let us know if you need assistance. Gear: Tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking tools, and all other necessary gear to comfortably spend 2 nights outdoors will be provided. If your child has a tent, sleeping bag, or any other camping gear they would prefer to bring please just let us know in the registration form or send an email. We just ask your child come prepared with weather-appropriate clothing and any comfort items they may want for our trip. A detailed packing list will be sent upon registration. Please email Elise (elise@friendsofkww.org) with any questions or concerns.
