Hulbert Outdoor Center: Special Events

Special Events & Partnerships at Hulbert Outdoor Center

The Hulbert Outdoor Center sponosors a variety of community and public events throughout the year. We are particularly proud of our partnerships with local organizations such as Camp !, Inc. and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, which joins with us in sponsoring our camp for children afflicted with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Collaborations include WinterFest, hosted by Hulbert and sponsored jointly by the Upper Valley Trails Alliance. Other specialized weekends bring people of varied interests and skills—such as folk dancers, quilters, back country travelers and photographers—to the Center throughout the year.
