Teens to Trails pushing high schoolers to play outside through new app

TIMES RECORD • October 25, 2020

In an effort to make the Maine wilderness accessible to all students and outing clubs, Teens to Trails has partnered with a Portland-based software company to bring a Maine outdoor guide to cellphones. Members of Teens to Trails have been looking at ways to foster outdoor experiences for high schoolers throughout Maine. Chimani, the app’s developer, previously created a National Park guide, but their new app is the first of its kind in that it provides information for outdoor recreation on a state-wide level specific to Maine. Hiking trails, beaches, lighthouses and park hours can be located on the site, reducing the challenges of planning out a trip.
