Get Out and Enjoy

What to try something new in a supportive and fun environment? Need a little guidance or encouragement getting yourself immersed in the great out-of-doors? If you live in, or near, Massachusetts there is really no excuse.

For more than ten years, Outdoor Explorations has been using the outdoors to promote community-wide, inclusive activities for people of all abilities. Activities range from overnight kayaking, sailing and hiking adventures to one-day introductory sessions in kayaking or rock climbing to community service projects in urban green spaces.

Activities are scheduled between May and October. Experienced guides lead all the trips. Some activities are ASL interpreted. All equipment, meals, and transportation are included in the reasonable and affordable fees. (Some scholarships are even available.)

Outdoor Explorations is located at 98 Winchester Street, Medford, MA 02155. A catalog of  trips, activities, and clinics may be obtained by writing to them or calling (781) 395-4999. You may also visit their web site at: www.outdoorexp.org.
