Teens To Trails CONFERENCE '08...
was held April 5th at Windham High School
Wow!
Over 375 people gathered to share their passion for the outdoors.
Photos taken that day are full of people connecting, smiling faces and
busy hands ~ we could not have been more pleased.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE ... The success of this second Conference has inspired us to plan next steps
to establish new T3 programs that connect Maine teens & the natural world...
With support from L.L.Bean, we will initiate our Grants-to-Clubs
program by putting funds into the hands of several high school Outing
Club programs next school year.
We will pursue outreach efforts to increase awareness of the importance
of outdoor experiences for teens while we build support for high school
Outing Clubs & their leaders.
We are already forming a planning committee to pursue a Teens To Trails
Conference for 2009/2010. Our thought is to place this next gathering
at an outdoor-oriented venue with hikes & other activities that
will get us all outside!
We welcome your ideas and your involvement as we pursue these next steps. CONTACT US if you want to help.
