The Middle School Campout is a new, annual program to encourage middle school students to learn about each other and their natural surroundings, connect with their peers and enjoy downtime together outdoors.

This May, students from Bucksport Middle School joined Teens to Trails for a weekend of camping, stargazing, stewardship and hiking. Weekends like these are full of surprises! This one offered students the opportunity to see the Northern Lights reflecting off the water in Birch Point State Park!

If you’re interested in learning more about the campout, visit here for all of the details. And we hope you’ll join us next spring for a weekend of fun, connection and outdoor exploration!
