Individuals not content to remain in a traditional camp setting can branch forth into the Northeast’s premiere wilderness with Adirondack Camp. Carve a trail through an ancient glacial lake, cling to a rock face meant only for the peregrine to perch. Hike by force of will when your body has told you no more.

Adirondack Camp offers stunning challenges to those looking to go beyond the standard camp’s boundaries. Leave your stomach in the trough of a river wave, drink the last drop of water on the day’s third peak while sunlight dims to a brilliant horizon. Immerse yourself in the uplift of this ancient rock and feel your spirits soar with the Adirondack Eagle.
