Hike Leader

Peter Meskin

Peter enjoys sharing his love of forest trails with Club Fit members. His friends have always known where to look for him: “Outdoors!” First, as a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout and then as a trained hike leader for the Appalachian Mountain Club. Peter has hiked and camped throughout the United States and parts of Canada. For many years, Coast Guard licensed “Capt. Peter” was a professional sailing instructor, having taught for the New York Sailing School on City Island, The Appalachian Mountain Club, the Croton Sailing School and for Pete Seeger’s Ferry Sloops right here on the Hudson River. After attaining his Masters License as a US Coast Guard Sailing Captain, Peter ran a charterboat business, “Caribbean Dream Charters,” out of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands taking guests out for week-long, live-aboard cruises. Each cruise was a week in paradise. Peter also enjoys helping to build scenery for local theaters.

Peter enjoys having children along on the hikes, as long as the parents feel that the children are up to it and will accompany them. Peter Meskin and Andrew Stein started the Club Fit Hiking Club some 32 years ago. Andrew moved to Connecticut a while back. Peter is still leading and has trained two other excellent hike leaders, Jim Hurley and Michael Capsuto, who have added new variety and energy to the Club Fit Hiking Club.

Keep an eye on trail conditions.

Hikes may be canceled due to inclement weather. If conditions look questionable, check with your Hike Leader before heading to the trail.

Weather Note
Little legs welcome.
Bring The Kids

Make it a
family adventure.

We love having children join us. A little preparation helps make sure everyone has a great day on the trail.

1

Children must remain close to their parent or guardian throughout the entire hike. Parents, rather than the Hike Leader, are responsible for their children.

2

Read the full hike description and choose a hike that matches your child's interest, stamina and ability to stay with the group.

3

Children should wear hiking boots or sturdy sneakers appropriate for the trail.

4

Bring extra food, water and a favorite snack or two for a little mid-hike motivation.

5

A small backpack can help kids feel like part of the group and give them some trail responsibility.

6

Keep electronic devices away during the hike. Cellphones should remain on vibrate and available for emergency use.
