Hiking 101

Hiking 101


September 27, 2026

Join us for a Hiking 101 workshop designed for beginners and anyone looking to build their hiking knowledge and confidence. During the first hour in the classroom, we'll cover hiking essentials, including the 10 essential items to bring, trail safety, how to follow trail blazes and what they mean, basic map reading, and tips for planning a successful hike. In the second hour, we'll head to a nearby trail( Tower Hill) to put these new skills into practice with a guided hike (1 mile, easy.)  Whether you're preparing for your first hike or looking to refresh your outdoor skills, this is a great opportunity to learn in a fun and supportive environment. Please no dogs.

Please meet at our headquarters Atwood Farm at 624 Wormwood Hill Rd Mansfield Center CT 06250.  Please use the unpaved driveway and park in our parking lot.
