Celebrate Earth Day with Merrell and Friends at Mountain Creek Resort

Join Merrell and friends on Earth Day 2023 for an event of fun-filled adventures and activities!

The event will be held on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 at Mountain Creek Resort located in Vernon Township, NJ. The morning session will kick off at 9am with a trail cleanup hike and run, allowing attendees to try out Merrell shoe models like the Moab 3, Moab Speed, Nova, and Antora. Merrell will provide the cleanup supplies, so participants only need to bring themselves and arrive 15 minutes early to start promptly.

Following the trail cleanup, there will be a range of workshops throughout the day, led by experts from Urban and Outdoor Survival, Ropes Rigging and Trees, Mappy Hour, and Merrell. Workshops will cover topics such as survival skills, rope-tying, and yoga.

Participants can enjoy snacks and beverages throughout the day and have many chances to win eco-friendly swag. To end the event on a high note, there will be a raffle for a free pair of Merrell shoes, so attendees are encouraged to stay until the end.

This event is open to all. The event will occur rain or shine (activities will be moved indoors in the event of bad weather)!

Tickets are available on Eventbrite.
