Campers’ Wilderness Travelogue

August 3rd, 2011

We experienced two fun-filled days of backpacking through the Adirondacks.

Our adventure began when we hiked 2.8 miles from Heart Lake to Marcy Dam. The trail was slightly challenging consisting of rocks, roots and catwalks. Once we saw the stunning lake we knew we had reached our destination. We explored the area for a perfect camping spot. We ended up agreeing on a flat, well hidden area.

After we set up camp, we climbed over rocks and took a walk around the lake. When the trail came to an end, we sat in a circle drinking hot chocolate and looking at the beautiful stars.

The next day, we hiked along Avalanche Pass that led to Avalanche Lake. We then went on a rock scramble with ladders and catwalks. The view of the lake was gorgeous. To top off the trip we ate at ADK Cafe and had Stewart’s.

Subs are Back

August 2nd, 2011

The Subs have returned from their trip up to Lake Placid. The trip was a lot of fun. Many liked the Gondola ride up Whiteface Mountain most of all. What great weather for a spectacular view of the Adirondack high peaks!

The Waterfront News

August 2nd, 2011

This summer on the waterfront has been near perfect. Our energetic and skilled waterfront staff has taken each of the program areas to the next level and campers have been able to achieve things that they never thought possible.

Some of the exciting adventures this summer have been: the canoe trips to Shultz’s Island and Brant Lake Camp; games of Quidditch in the plyacks; sailing regattas against Walden, Che-Na-Wah and Brant Lake Camp; and cutting clinics at water-ski where some of the high-end skiers mastered the slalom course. Finally, our amazing swim team remains undefeated with each victory lead by our own Peaker Fabi.

With the perfect Adirondack weather the waterfront is the place to be this summer!
