Event Overview:

Join us for a hands-on morning in the woods where we’ll slow down, learn the landscape, and give back to it.

This experience blends a guided plant identification walk with light volunteer work focused on removing invasive species and supporting the health of the local ecosystem. Whether you’re brand new to plant ID or already have some knowledge, this is a chance to deepen your understanding while getting your hands in the dirt.

We’ll start with a short intro and head out on a walk to learn how to recognize common plants, trees, and invasive species. After a quick break, we’ll shift into action—helping remove invasive vines and doing light trail or garden work.

To wrap things up, we’ll regroup, reflect on what we learned, and snap a group photo. There may even be a wild-foraged treat or plant-based tasting (think black birch iced tea 👀).

Event Overview:

Join us for a community trail run in partnership with Black Men Run Boston and Black Girls Run, centered on creating space for people of color and allies to get outside, move their bodies, and connect with one another.

This isn’t about pace or performance—it’s about showing up. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting into it, this is a chance to build community, clear your head, and tap into the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of time spent outdoors.

Who It’s For:
This event is open to BIPOC identifying individuals (men and women) as well as allies.

Why We Run:
Time outside has the power to reset, restore, and reconnect us—to ourselves and to each other. This run is about more than miles. It’s about community, well-being, and showing up for one another.

Build the Skills. Take the Lead. Climb with Confidence.

This 3-day climbing series is designed for adults who want to safely set up and manage their own outdoor rock climbing days.

Whether you’re hoping to take your kids climbing, get outside with friends, or simply gain the confidence to handle anchors and systems yourself, this course gives you the knowledge, hands-on practice, and mentorship to make it happen.

What to Expect:

Day 1 – Foundations & Systems (Idle Hands Meet-Up | 2–3 Hours) - 5/26/26

We had a great group come and learn the basics of safety when building anchors, as well as what gear is required. For more insight into the conversation we had, check out the recap sheet here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aEUNTqdfM4_vd-sONLXmkFl2kdvaSqVtF3gsltpdyvg/edit?usp=sharing

If you missed the first day, don’t worry! You are still welcome to join us for the next two workshop days!

Day 2 – Build & Apply (Outdoor Skills Day): 6/7/26 @ Waitts Mount

Now we take it to the crag.

You’ll learn how to evaluate cliffs, identify strong anchor points, build top-rope systems, manage ropes, and approach climbing with a risk-management mindset.

This is a full day of skill-building focused on clear, repeatable systems you can confidently use on your own.

Day 3 – Run the System (Test Day): 6/20/26

This is where everything comes together.

You’ll take the lead in setting up climbs from start to finish while the guide steps back into a supervisory role. Think of this as a supported assessment day—you’re making decisions, building systems, and running climbs, with expert guidance there to double-check and coach when needed.

The goal is simple: leave feeling capable, competent, and confident managing your own climbing days.

Pricing & Gear

• Days 2 & 3: $250 for the full weekend experience

• Participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment so they can become familiar with the exact gear they’ll be using on their own climbing days. Some rental equipment will be available.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A strong understanding of climbing systems—not just how, but why

• Hands-on experience building and managing real outdoor setups

• Confidence to safely climb with friends, family, or on your own

• A growing network of climbing partners

Additional Details

• This is a skills-focused, ground school-style program

• The course will run rain or shine

• No prior outdoor anchor experience required (some climbing familiarity is helpful)
