This extensive, hands-on, weekend long program is just what you need to feel excited about winter again! When your ice fishing flag goes up, you hit your target at the range, or reach your snowshoeing destination, the only cold you'll notice is your teeth from smiling! Our top-notch instructors will provide all the gear and guidance you need, regardless of your background or experience level.
February 7 – 9, 2025
Saturday will be workshop day. Sessions like Ice Fishing 101, Learn to Trap, and Introduction to Rifle Shooting will open new doors to Maine adventures! We'll help you conquer Maine's winter wilderness with Hike Preparedness, Map and Compass, and Winter Survival. You will even have the opportunity to taste test some wild game (and plenty of s'mores) cooked on the campfire.
Sunday will be a choose your own adventure kind of day. Head out on the ice for a full day ice fishing expedition, hit the trails for a snowshoe hike with your new friends, learn about the art and science of fly tying, or drive the practice course for snowmobile safety.
