While many of our trips are for adults, families and individuals to take part in, this custom 5 day guided canoe trip was outfitted and guided for the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Foundation (AWWF) Youth on the Allagash (YOTA) Program with High School students from Madawaska and Ashland. Students learned a ton of skills, cooked over an open fire, caught fish, interviewed park ranger Allyssa at Michaud Farms about career opportunities in the outdoors, heard about career opportunities as a Maine Guide from Dave and Jeanie, learned how to be good stewards of the land and water, took part in readings from the latest AWWF books ‘The Allagash Explorer’ and ‘This Extraordinary Place: A Guide to Allagash Ecology’. Jeanie Cote assisted Dave Conley with guiding the trip.
