American Hiking Society, Outwardbound, Chewonki, EMS, AMC, Sierra Club, and others
being there. It's a free event, from 10-5, with an early morning hike in the Mahoosucs on Saturday. Throughout the day: Intro to wilderness medicine, Birds of Prey, Boat canoe and kayak rides and demos, knot tying, the "10 essentials", map & compass demos, prize drawings to enter, clubs to join, volunteer ops
