SOLO is the longest continuously operating wilderness medical school in the country and their WFA courses are a great tool for anyone who wants to spend time outside.

This 16 hour, 2 day program will introduce you to patient assessment, treatment and management of injuries in backcountry conditions. You will learn to improvise splints and litters, stop bleeding, and other potentially lifesaving skills.

Learn more about SOLO here.

Mount Agamenticus Base (Ring Trailhead)
$8 per person. Register online.

Join us for a nighttime hike to the summit of First Hill!

We will meet at the Base parking lot and hike west along Ring Trail to arrive at the Summit via Witch Hazel Trail. After enjoying tea or hot cocoa at the summit, we’ll return via Witch Hazel and then continue east on Ring Trail back down to the parking area.

Headlamps required; we have some spares. There is no minimum age requirement, but prior hiking experience is highly recommended. Moderate difficulty. Terrain varies from gentle slopes on dirt trails to rocky sections with short climbs or descents. Full distance is just over 2 miles.

The cost of this program directly supports the work of the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Program. If you would prefer to pay by cash in person at the event, please e-mail Naomi to reserve your spot. Please also reach out if this program is of interest, but cost is prohibitive.

Community BYO Board Game Night at the Summit of Mount A
Thursday nights in June and July – first: June 4, last: July 30
Drop in, 6-9 PM

Play games before the sun goes down! Dice Before Dark is a drop-in, all-are-welcome gathering where friends, families, and solo visitors can play together before sunset. Participants are encouraged to bring a game they enjoy, learn something new from a neighbor, or simply relax and play as the sun fades. For all ages and experience levels. Free with park admission. Donations welcome.

“Last call” will be around 8:30 PM for those who want to head outside to enjoy the sunset. Sunset time varies, but we do ask that folks plan to leave the summit by 9 PM so our Park Rangers can close the gate.

Please note: the summit Lodge is not wheelchair accessible. Easier access for individuals who can use stairs but have mobility concerns is from the back deck (stairs on the eastern side of the building). Any participant is welcome to enjoy a game outside on the grass or at one of the accessible picnic tables at the summit! Please reach out to [email protected] to coordinate or reserve a game or table. You may also call the office phone (207) 361-1102 during the drop-in hours.

Watch for occasional themed nights highlighting a featured game with time to learn and play together!

We have a growing library of in-house and staff-loaned games and puzzles. Our current game list is available here.

If you’d like to donate a game, refreshments, or help us out with a themed night please e-mail Naomi!
