Middle School Outings
Teens to Trails offers Middle School Outings for registered clubs at a variety of locations each Fall and Spring.
Middle School Outings are 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.
When: May 21 - 23, 2027
Where: Acadia National Park, Blackwoods Campground
Cost: $150 per outdoor club
Limit: 10 participants per club, including chaperones
Regulations within Acadia National Park limit our group size. Thank you for understanding.
We’ve reserved all the group campsites for this program, and Clubs will be sharing the sites. Please pack simply with this in mind.
Clubs are responsible for their own food and transportation.
Need outdoor gear like hiking boots, insulated layers, sleeping pads/bags, or tent for your students? Please contact Jill at programs@teenstotrails.org.
