October 28th- November 4th
As the rich hues of late fall give way, savor the crisp air at Catamount OFC and embrace the upcoming season of new adventures and cozy moments!
We are in the final weeks of our Annual Fund campaign, which continues until Thanksgiving.
With recent Town of Williston selectboard approval,
we are moving forward with Act 250 and
Wetland permits for our Comprehensive Trail Plan!
Supporting the planning time and
permit applications for this project
is essential to its success.
We’ve also chosen our partners for our
VOREC Building Planning grant,
Black River Design and TCE.
Expect public meetings to be scheduled soon.
The timeline goal is to have blueprints by mid-summer 2025.
We’re very excited to be rolling on this project!
Your donation is vital here too.

Winter Wanderers Camp
At Winter Wanderers, we will explore the wonders of winter in a fun, meaningful, and experiential way! In addition to being active outside on snowshoes, skis, and fat bikes, campers will learn about basic outdoor skills, winter ecology, Leave No Trace, and environmental stewardship.
SnowSchool
“A bright yellow school bus pulls up to a frozen parking lot in the middle of winter. The doors open. Out come dozens of fifth-graders in puffy jackets, mittens, and hats. Today, these students are going to strap on snowshoes, romp around the snow, dig pits, study snow crystals, and learn about their watershed. Welcome to SnowSchool.” ~Winter Wildlands Alliance
