The Summit Project has officially arrived at NEOC for an incredible weekend of remembrance, reflection, and community. Tomorrow, hikers will make their way up The Owl in Baxter State Park, in honor of Maine’s fallen soldiers, carrying memorial stones and the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Founded in Maine in 2013, The Summit Project is a living memorial dedicated to honoring post-9/11 fallen service members from Maine through fellowship, education, and physical challenge. Participants carry tribute stones chosen by surviving families, ensuring these heroes and their stories are never forgotten.
We’re deeply honored to host this meaningful gathering here in the Katahdin Region.
