Past Multi-Activity Events

Cape Shores Weekend, Wellfleet Audubon Wildlife Refuge, Sept. 25-27 2009
This years weekend on Cape Cod again had a perfect Saturday but rain on Sunday, similar to last year. The schedule consisted of a nature walk on Saturday morning and another one after dark in the evening. The campground as usual during off season was quite empty, even though the Audubon Center had several events going on, not only at the Center, but other parts of the Cape. Because of the rain the paddle for Sunday was canceled, but on Saturday members enjoyed hiking, biking and some shopping.

Squam Lake Weekend (Deerwood Camp) September 26-28, 2008
An annual event on Squam Lake, NH, for hiking, biking, paddling, and yoga. Located at Deerwood Camp, the rustic camp overlooking the Southern Shore of Squam Lake, has all the amenities that make the weekend very popular. The camp has a waterfront beach and kayaks and canoes for use. Many hills in the surrounding area offer alot of hiking opportunities. Biking is popular in the surrounding towns. This weekend is a sellout every year. While the weather was a little damp and there was occasional rain, the heavy rain stayed down in Southern New England.

Cape Shores Weekend, Wellfleet Audubon Wildlife Refuge, June 14-16 2008
A weekend in the Massachusetts Audubon Wellfleet Wildlife Refuge gave an intimate view of the Salt Marshs and Terrapin protection programs. Camping in the spacious campground gave a feeling of cape openness without the crowd normall associated with Cape Cod. Nature walks were attended on both Saturday and Sunday. Other recreation included biking and paddling in Wellfleet Harbor. While an early Sunday morning downpoor and the forecast of more rain, sent some campers home, others managed to get an informative lecuture on the Terrapin recovery program on Lieutenant Island. Other references to the Terrapin are a concise description, and another program in Tampa Bay, FL.

Cape Shores Weekend and Salt Marsh Tour with Naturalist, June 15-17, 2007
AMC members had a perfect weather weekend on the East Cape Cod and National Seashore while camping at the quiet Massachusetts Audubon Society Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. On Saturday the group started the day with a walk down to the salt marsh and then used the rest of the day to explored the area in groups, or on their own, by hiking, biking or paddling. In the evening, people broke into groups and had dinner at various restaurants in the area. Sunday morning was the highlight of the weekend where members had a guided tour of the woodlands and salt marsh by an Audubon naturalist. The sanctuary is about 1200 acres, which has five miles of trails that traverse the eight natural habitats representing the diversity of Cape Cod. The Ester Underwood Johnson Nature Center is a model of green architecture, with composting toilets, a photovoltaic panel array and many other green building material and features.
