Countless miles of river to canoe, New York’s high peaks to explore, and craggy granite prime for climbing, there is no shortage of wilderness adventures our campers can choose from. Our team of experienced and certified guides lead all our expeditions in-house, so we have the flexibility to work around the weather’s many moods. It’s our life’s work to provide experiences that encourage kids to fall in love with the outdoors.

Day trips include hiking , canoeing, high peaks & fire tower challenge, rock climbing, and rafting. Overnight trips include camping, portaging, backpacking, Appalachian Trail adventures, exploring the White Mountains, and the Super Senior Trip.
