 Registration is closed for this event

Take a tour of our Welch Trail Education Center, which houses our hardworking Conservation Corps from spring through fall. Hear the exciting work completed by our 2018 crew and what is on deck for the upcoming season. Together we hike to the summit of Stockbridge Mountain, along the way we will encounter two unique rock formations, Hippo Rock and Cave Shelter. We will also visit, Stockbridge Shelter and the Baileytown Cemetery. Basic cardiovascular fitness is required for this hike, which contains a moderately steep climb.

At the junction with Route 293 keep right to stay on Route 6 East. Route 6 continues downhill passing between two lakes.  IMMEDIATELY after passing lakes, make an easy-to-miss RIGHT onto a small road (Baileytown Rd).  Look for a Trail Conference person to direct you the rest of the way to the camp. (You will proceed down Baileytown Road as it veers left. Camp will be on your left.)
