Adirondack Park – Volunteer Vacations 2021

October 3, 2021 - October 9, 2021

Trip Navigation

Champlain Area Trails has a number of new trails we will be developing this year. For this project, we will select one of the trails and the work will be to clear the trail of branches, brush, and fallen logs, do side-cuts to level the trail on hillsides and if the trail needs boardwalks and bridges, build them.

Area and Attractions

The 6-million-acre Adirondack Park features extensive forests, spectacular mountains, thousands of lakes, and crystal-clear flowing waters. This project will take place in the Champlain Valley portion of the Park which is the most biologically diverse part of the park and has incredible views of Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and a mix of the valley's forest and farmland. Volunteers will enjoy hiking through and working in the forests and fields along the trail and on the off day, exploring nearby natural areas and the region's historic and scenic towns and cities.

Accommodations Description

Volunteers will stay in a youth summer camp with 2-4 people per room on beds. Breakfast and dinner will be cooked/provided for by camp staff. Lunch fixings will be provided for the volunteers to make their own lunches. Volunteers should bring a sleeping bag or linens and pillow, towels, and personal gear.
