Area and Attractions

Adirondack Park is the largest protected forest preserve in the United States and boasts thousands of lakes, and miles of streams. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the country with the slogan of "forever wild." Champlain Area Trails (CATS) trails are located mostly in the "Champlain Valley" on the picturesque 150-mile long Lake Champlain. Many of the trails offer breathtaking views of the Lake, the Green Mountains in Vermont, and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. It is a year-round recreational mecca with trails, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, shopping (Lake Placid, the site of the 1980 Olympics is only 45 minutes away), many museums, waterfalls, and other attractions.

Accommodations Description

Volunteers will stay in indoor dormitory style lodging with twin beds. Breakfast and dinner will be provided in the dining hall and the fixings for making lunch will be available for each volunteer to make their own lunch to take with them. Volunteers should bring their own linens (twin sized sheets or sleeping bag, pillow, and towel), cup/bowl/eating utensils, and personal items.
