Teens to Trails works with schools to build meaningful relationships between students, caring adults and the natural world by sharing time together outdoors.

We provide adult and student leaders with the training, financial support, and reliable resources they need to start and sustain an exciting Outdoor Club at their school. When a school registers with Teens to Trails, they benefit from all that we offer, including:

1. Professional Development in outdoor leadership and risk management.

2. Programming that builds skills through fun adventures and new activities shared with other Outdoor Clubs from all over Maine.

3. Grants to for transportation, trip expenses and overcome other cost barriers to getting outside.

4. Trip lotteries for free adventures which we plan – all you need to do is set the schedule.

5. Reliable advice and support from our staff.

6. Suggestions for ways to connect all students to the outdoors such as adaptive accommodations, and outdoor activities for PE and Health classes.

7. Scholarships to summer camps and outdoor leadership courses.

8. Free Gear! Every club registered with Teens to Trails is automatically a member of Maine GearShare, a lending library for all your clothing, boots, backpacking and base camping needs.

9. You are part of a statewide network of teachers who are just as committed, caring, curious, and challenged as you are – we help each other!
