This program is perfect for your first expedition. Adirondack State Park in Upstate New York is an adventure playground with an expansive system of lakes, hiking trails, and high peaks. You'll learn how to camp and live as a group in the wilderness. Our journey will start with climbing some epic rock faces in the Adirondack State Park. After leaving the rock face we then head underground for a day of caving at Crane Mountain. We now venture to the water systems that make the Adirondacks famous. We will plan and execute a four-day canoe trip exploring Raquette Lake and the surrounding bodies of water. We'll use map and compass to navigate our way through a lush mountain estuary and then climb West Mountain. After leaving the lake we will spend the evening around the campfire drying out and trading stories from our adventures!
