Bangor Y

Outdoor Adventure Programs

One of the advantages to living in Maine is having the opportunity to explore and experience the beauty of nature through various outdoor activities. As a Y, we not only view outdoor activities as a great way to explore Maine but as another way to help our community develop a healthy lifestyle. Our Outdoor Adventure is not only a great program for people to stay active outside, but also a great way for people to develop friendships through common outdoor interests.

Outdoor Adventure Club
Outdoor recreation improves overall fitness, skill acquisition, increases social connections and improves self-esteem. Our Outdoor Adventure Club focuses on these objectives and also hopes to provide greater opportunities for members to have access to many outdoor resources in our immediate area. We have an extensive river and stream system in which to explore and compete and a vast expanse of hiking trails and rock outcrops to enjoy and be challenged by.

Our Outdoor Adventure Club offers different outdoor activities depending on the season. Find out what activities we are currently offering.

These tours will be lead by one of Maine's most skilled and experienced cyclists, Erik DaSilva!
