We're building a new privy at the Horseshoe Canyon campsite in July, and need your help! On July 9 we'll do the site prep including felling a couple of trees, digging to get a flat surface, and installing the base 4x6s. We are still exploring access to the campsite (the West Branch of the Piscataquis is posing challenges), so stay tuned!
We need your help building a new privy at the Horseshoe Canyon campsite on July 16-17! The privy was pre-built in April and is now packaged into ~150 bundles that are about 15-30 pounds. Volunteers are needed to shoulder this material to the campsite. It's about a 0.7 mile walk over flat terrain with 170 feet of elevation to the campsite. We are still scheming access (the West Branch of the Piscataquis River driving to be a challenge), so the access route may change. Many hands make lighter work, and we need many hands for this project. A group will also […]

It’s a 1.3-mile hike with about 950 feet of elevation gain to access the campsite.
We need your help building a new privy at the Long Pond Stream campsite on September 3-4! The privy was pre-built in April and is now packaged into ~150 bundles that are about 15-30 pounds. We are hoping to work with a group of Colby College volunteers are needed to shoulder this material to the campsite, but we will still need plenty of MATC volunteers to help. It's about a 0.9 mile walk with 400 feet of elevation to the campsite. Many hands make lighter work, and we need many hands for this project. A group will also be building the […]
