Maine Adult Education

Messalonskee Lake & Steam are wonderful natural resources of the mid-Maine region and offer numerous recreational and conservation activities. Mike Guarino of Maine Wilderness Tours and Friends of Messalonskee Watershed gets you on the water and learning hands-on in this one-day class in JULY! If you have always wanted to learn to kayak and explore the lake's ecology, this is the class for you. Students will receive a free kayak lesson and will be provided all equipment needed. Identification of flora and fauna in the lake and stream will be taught on land followed by a kayak paddle along shore to find various specimens.

Although we will be staying close to shore, all students must know the basics of how to swim. Please wear water shoes; a bathing suit or shorts, sunglasses or polarized glasses, sunscreen, and hat are also helpful and appropriate. Please come prepared with extra clothes just in case you get wet. All students must be 17 to register. If needed, a Rain Date will be announced. Limit 8 students.
