In this one-night class participants will learn how to create their best vacation images. Often when people come home from a family trip, their photos fall a little flat and do not capture the essence of their experience. This session helps people with camera settings and makes suggestions for the best times of the day to capture the perfect shot.

Fall/Winter Rambles, 2.0

with Sam Horine

$5 More Info

If you enjoy being outdoors, want to be on trails slightly off the beaten path and share some interesting conversations, then Rambles 2.0 might be for you.

We will venture out on a trail within 40 miles of Skowhegan once a month, between October and March, to enjoy the changing seasons. Due to diminishing winter daylight, all outings will start in the early afternoon.

Good walking shoes, warm winter boots, ice creepers, snowshoes, comfortable layered clothing, and the yen to explore are the only essential elements needed. Classes will meet the second Tuesday of each month, dependent on the weather, and last about two hours plus some travel time.

There will be a short orientation meeting at SAHS on September 20.

First ramble on 10/11/2022

Waiting list available
