KROC Ongoing Activities

The Katahdin Region Outdoor Collective team wanted to provide local Katahdin Region residents with lots of different ways to explore the outdoors, learn new skills, and meet other members of their community. We offer a mixed variety of youth programs, and some programs for all community members of all skills and ages.

We are always open to ideas on what programs YOU want in your community! If you don’t see something here that you want to do, let us know!
