The Maine Outdoor Wellness Center in Turner, ME was a dream of Roy Varney’s, a state champion Nordic skier from Turner and a graduate of Leavitt Area High School. Roy passed away tragically in 2019. It is a place where he could continue to train for nordic skiing and biathlon year-round, all while continuing to help out on the farm.
The Center seeks to preserve the memory of Roy Varney by providing opportunities to access the outdoors for all Turner and surrounding residents of central Maine and New England. The Center plans to provide an extensive cross country trail system on its 300+ acre farm that can be utilized year-round for hiking, skiing, biking, and running.
