High Adventure in the Adirondacks!

Based at Massawepie Scout Camps, the Massawepie Adirondack Trek Center offers all Scouts and Scouters canoeing, backpacking, and combination treks during the months of July and August. Trek groups can participate in established trek destinations throughout the 2.6-million-acre Adirondack Forest preserve, or can customize their own. Rock climbing, rappelling and mountain biking options are also available.

Three Day Trek vs Six Day Trek

The three day trek is designed to be added to the beginning or the end of the unit’s time at camp. Head to camp three days early and explore the Adirondacks or once camp finishes head out on a three day trip to top off your summer experience.

Six day treks are designed to be a complete summer camp experience for a group. Unit’s that participate in the six day trek program are coming to camp knowing that their trip will be the best guided adventure available in the Adirondacks

Provisional Treks -  offered weeks 1, 3, and 5!

For those Scouts who would like to participate in a Trek program without their Troop or Crew! Solo Treks can be the ideal program for the Scout who falls short of having a full crew for his trek. Bring a friend or have unique experience with a parent! Meet new people from across the Council or country. These treks can be a full week of hiking, canoeing or a combo trek. Our treks staff will work with the participants to determine what trek is the best fit for those who register!
