Our outings will feature hiking in old-growth forests, mountain biking on professionally built trails at McCauley Mountain, climbing fire towers that are part of the ADK Challenge, paddling on the Moose River and several lakes. You can earn a patch by completing the Fulton Chain Trifecta during the weekend. Participants can hike two sections of the North Country National Scenic Trail and explore the Pigeon Lake Wilderness. We even offer a docent-led tour of Camp Sagamore.
The Adirondack Woodcraft Camps is a rustic outdoor setting only 7-miles from Old Forge, at the end of Rondaxe Road and nestled in the wilderness on a 250-acre property complete with two private lakes, access to the Moose River and the freedom to enjoy hiking and biking trails without leaving the property. Join the camaraderie of like-minded ADK friends and soak up the Fall ambiance of the Adirondacks.
