Come camp with Kindling in Baxter State Park and hike Mt. Katahdin in queer community! We'll camp together on Friday and Saturday nights and day hike Katahdin on Saturday. Katahdin is a sacred mountain for Wabanaki people. Participants will engage in cultural pre-learning and discussions/activities to learn about the mountain's history and significance and to reflect on action steps they might take to be in right relationship with the land and people of so-called Maine. Proceeds from this event will benefit a Wabanaki-led organization.
