Trek groups can participate in established trek destinations throughout the 6-million-acre Adirondack Forest preserve.

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
