LL Bean announces 2014 Discovery Schools programme

09/05/2014
Outdoor brand LL Bean has announced the activities for its Discovery Schools programme for 2014. Maine-based LL Bean has been running the programme, through which it aims to encourage participation in outdoor activities, since 1979.

The menu for 2014 includes courses, trip and tours, ranging in length from a few hours to several days. Offerings also encompass a full range of abilities, from beginner to expert, in kayaking, fly fishing, clay shooting, biking and camping.

Other highlights for 2014 include stand-up paddleboarding yoga experiences, including a weekend-long retreat, multisport weekend-long adventures and island bird watching tours. Teen Adventure Weeks will be on offer all summer long, featuring canoeing, paddleboarding, hiking, kayaking, fly fishing, archery, leadership skills, sustainability and more.

“LL Bean has always been about making it as easy as possible for people to get excited about the outdoors,” said Gretchen Ostherr, senior manager for the Discovery Schools. “We try to remove the most prominent barriers to participation while sharing our passion for the outdoors in hopes of turning someone onto an activity that will hopefully become a lifelong passion.”
