Bring your outdoor club for two nights to a beautiful lakeside getaway! The First Push Syndicate retreat space is in Orland, Maine on Alamoosook Lake, and is in close proximity to Acadia National Park . Use this space as a launching pad for outdoor adventures!

By the light of the evening sky, L.L.Bean’s expert instructors will lead you and your Outdoor Club on a unique outdoor excursion through the snow-covered landscape. In this Starlight Snowshoe, they'll give a brief demonstration of snowshoeing basics, then help you improve your technique on the easygoing terrain. Along the way, they'll share their knowledge of the plants and wildlife that thrive in the winter environment. After enjoying the scenery and refreshing winter air, you'll be treated to rich hot cocoa and some tasty snacks. We'll also provide all the necessary snowshoeing equipment for this exceptional adventure.
