Location: Mount Agamenticus summit, 21 Mount Agamenticus Road, York ME

This program is for beginner and first-time youth hikers (with their grown-ups). Through a variety of fun games and hands-on activities in our summit Learning Lodge, participants will receive an overview of the 7 Principles of “Leave no Trace,” learning how to properly “Plan Ahead and Prepare” for a hike. Youth participants will then work together with staff to plan our group’s hike. We’ll hit the trails, kids in the lead, taking plenty of time to stop along the way!

Hike may range from moderate to difficult. Read the descriptions for the First Hill trails we may be hiking in advance.

This program is not wheelchair accessible, however if you are interested in scheduling a guided program similar to this with modifications for accessibility, including use of the Big A Trail at the summit, please reach out via our Group Registration form.
