7 daysThe Allagash
The big one: Senior campers paddle the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, and climb at Acadia National Park.
Winona and the State of Maine created the JMG program in 1937 as a wilderness camping skills program for ages 14 to 18. Candidates train all summer in map and compass, tree identification and fire building, join an eight-day Allagash canoe trip in early July, and finish with a five-day testing encampment in the Rangeley lakes area in late July.
The younger steps, Junior Maine Woodsman (8–11) and Maine Woodsman (12–13), are building blocks, though not required. Passing JMG lays the groundwork for training as a Registered Maine Guide.
