Join Boston's AMC young members to help volunteer at a Mass Audubon site and organic farm in Lincoln! We will help with chores from 1:30 to 4:00 and can also explore their wildlife sanctuary afterwards. Public transportation is limited to the commuter rail so please get in touch with each other for carpooling using the sign-up list below.
Come join us for an early summer swim at Walden Pond after work at the Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord! What is more refreshing than going for a swim after work? The weather is getting hotter, and the water at Walden Pond is warming up rapidly. The Walden Pond swims will be taking place at an ongoing basis throughout the summer twice a month. As the water gets warmer the goal will be to swim across the pond and back for roughly a mile of swimming.

Looking for a spark of inspiration for your next story? Or maybe you're looking to bounce some new ideas off other writers? We think a walk through the Boston Common and Boston Public Garden with some AMC creatives will help. Our workshop invites writers of all levels, genres and mediums to join us for a leisurely walk around the Boston Common and Public Garden, where we will spend some time exploring the green spaces of Boston, with a stop to see the annual Memorial Day flag planting display in the Common.
