    Guides Gone Wild

    Our Co-Leader Alicia Heyburn was interviewed for the Guides Gone Wild podcast, airing in June 2020. Alicia’s guiding cred ranges both broad and deep – she’s a registered Maine sea kayak guide, a wilderness first responder, long-distance bikepacker, and co-leader of an amazing outing club for Maine women, all of which we talk about in this episode.

    OLD PORT MAGAZINE

    Writer Katy Kelleher joined the LAC for a hike up Bald and Speckled Mountains and then published her article in the July issue of the Old Port Magazine. Take a peek at her piece right below; click on the images below for a larger view.

    REI CO-OP

    REI CO-OP’s Journal (Stories of a Life Outdoors) recently published  ‘The Nature Fix: Why We’re Hardwired for Adventure‘, speaking to and learning more about Gillian Schair and the Ladies Adventure Club.

    “I feel more alive when I adventure,” Schair told me recently. “I spent a good portion of my life being a little bit afraid, not willing to take risks. Then in my 30s, I decided I don’t have to be perfect. It’s okay to take risks and fail. It opened up something inside of me and made me feel energized and thrilled. Being a little outside our comfort zone pushes our interior envelopes a bit.”

    MaineLife

    The clip below is from Erin Ovalle’s show, MaineLife, which airs every Sunday morning at 11:30 on WCSH & WLBZ. At the end of May, Erin hiked with the LAC at Ovens Mouth Preserve in Boothbay – we had a great time chatting with her and sharing what makes the LAC so special.

    FIT MAINE

    FitMaine: ‘Add More Adventure Into Your Life with the Ladies Adventure Club‘, April 2017

    “You can’t grow if you just sit still,” says Gillian Schair of Portland. “You can’t summit a mountain, learn to surf, or try your hand at archery without first making a bold decision to leave the house – and your comfort zone.”

    We love how popular the LAC is with our Maine community but in this moment we are hitting the pause button on accepting new members. Our membership is at the level that allows for a wonderful diversity of skills, personalities, and ages but we can’t accommodate everyone in our adventure schedule. Instead of joining and being frustrated about our adventures being full-up, we want you to join and be thrilled with the LAC. Please check back soon for an update.

    Happy adventuring,
    Gillian and the LAC adventure team
