The Turtle Club - An outdoor adventure program

The Maine Outdoor Wellness Center in Turner, MEwas a dream ofRoy Varney’s, a place where he could continue to train for nordic skiing and biathlon year-round, all while continuing to help out on the farm.The Center seeks to preserve the memory of Roy Varney by providing opportunities to access the outdoors for all Turner and surrounding residents of central Maine and New England. The Center plans to provide an extensive cross country trail system on its 300+ acre farm that can be utilized year-round for hiking, skiing, biking, and running. Additional space for events and additional activities will be added as development progresses.The Center has been incorporated as a non-profit and will be managed by a board of family members, Roy’s fellow ski mates, coaches, and friends.

The Turtle Club-  An outdoor adventure program for kids. “It’s not about being first or winning,  but rather finishing.

Join us at <a href="https://www.maineoutdoorwellnesscenter.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Maine Outdoor Wellness Center </a>this summer for an outdoor program for kids of all ages. This is an opportunity to explore the hiking/biking/running trails at the MOWC. The Turtle club group will be led by Eli Lind, Ali Dening, and Jake Dening. The three leaders were friends of Roy Varney, and Leavitt Area High School Nordic Skiing alum. They will lead kids on guided hikes/bike rides/run through the woods and along the brooks, fields, and river at the North Farm. Additional activities within the new building will allow for rainy day activities and for younger kids who can not participate on a higher level. When: Every Saturday beginning June 25th and running through August 13th from 9-11 a.m. Cost: A suggested donation of $5-$10/student or family would be appreciated and help with trail-building activities while providing a stipend to the program&#x27;s leaders. Ages: All ages are welcome. However, we ask that kids under the age of 10 are joined by an adult or older sibling as a guardian.
