Centred Outdoors Season 8 Launch

On Sunday, June 2, Centred Outdoors will launch our eighth season of guided outings and outdoor wellness activities. Our Season 8 Passport will be available soon at many locations throughout Centre and surrounding counties, and online at CentredOutdoors.org. Our first guided outings will explore Galbraith Gap near Tussey Mountain as part of the annual Family Fishing Picnic event, held by the Spring Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Weekly guided outings will be held on Sundays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and now on Thursdays at 6 p.m.! Wellness Wednesdays will be held bi-weekly at 6 p.m. Our most popular activities such as Forest Therapy, Drum Circles, and Art in Nature will be held twice throughout the season.

Support for Centred Outdoors and ClearWater Conservancy means that the beautiful recreation destinations you enjoy today will exist for future generations. We hope that you consider a donation to ClearWater during the Centre Gives fundraiser on May 8 & 9. We invite you to join us at Spring Creek Canyon on May 12 and every week beginning Sunday, June 2, to restore, recharge, and appreciate the beauty of nature in the Centre region.

Enjoy the beautiful May flowers and stay tuned for an exciting summer!
