ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS Carolina Friends School End-of-Year Program 2013 TRIP INFORMATION: The Adirondack Park region is a six million acre area composed of public and private lands in northern New York. It is home to countless rivers streams and lakes, many allowing only non-motorized watercraft, and an astonishing array of rugged mountains known as the High Peaks. It offers a spectacular array of canoeing, kayaking and hiking opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. 2012-2013 marks the fifth consecutive year that CFS will offer the Adirondack EOY. The trip will commence on Monday, May 20 and travel via a CFS bus, towing a trailer of kayaks and supplies, to Fish Creek Pond State Campground outside of Tupper Lake, NY. This will act as our base camp for daily excursions. In the past we have done several canoe trips, starting from the lake where we camp, meandering through streams and small lakes, requiring several short portages. We will also have opportunities to kayak, and at least one long day trip in the kayaks. Hikes will include a ‘jaunt’ up Ampersand Mountain, the base of which is less than a twenty minute drive from our camp. This mountain affords a spectacular view to the north of the lakes in the region and to the south, of the magnificent mountain range. We will most definitely include a rugged day hike up, what is now the legendary CFS challenge, Giant Mountain. Interspersed within the outdoor activities will be opportunities to visit several unique museums in the area, most noticeably the Six Nations Indian Museum, located in Onchiota. With the exception of stopping for meals while we travel to and back from the Adirondacks, the group will share in the responsibilities of planning, preparing, and cleaning up after all of our meals. While we will be residing in tents, the campground does offer bathrooms and there is one central shower facility. Campfires and campfire lore are a routine evening activity. ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS Additional Information: Students on this EOY experience must have an eagerness to thrive out of doors and to work as a group. Hopefully participants will gain an appreciation for this unique area of our country as well as an appreciation for the efforts that are required to approach every activity with an exuberant determination. Please note that the weather in this part of the country at this time of the year can range from frost and snow flurries to sunny and 75 degrees to chilly and rainy (all within the same day). Mosquitoes and black flies can be nonexistent to an unavoidable nuisance. Chaperones: Dave Worden ([email protected]) and Elsa Hoffman (CFS ’06) Trip Dates: Leave CFS Monday, May 20 @ 7:00 am and return Saturday or Sunday, June 1 or 2. Estimated cost per participant: $900.

Next Generation Council
Next Generation Council Adeline Clayton, Lake Placid, NY Tahawus Trails LLC Addy first moved to the Adirondacks for a summer internship with the Adirondack Mountain Club in 2015. You could say it was love at first sight because she’s been here since. Working for the ADK for the following 4 summers, Addy made the area her year-round home in 2018. She now works for Tahawus Trails LLC, a small private trail contracting company working on hiking and biking trails across New York state. When not working to improve the trails, she enjoys biking, baking, and working in her garden. She currently is the coordinator for the Lake Placid Community Garden and is on the ADK’s trails committee board as well as a founding member for the mountain club’s trail crew alumni association. Protecting the Adirondacks has become more than just a job for her, it’s something that she feels deeply connected to and has found a great deal of solace and healing among the mountains and wild waters of the park. She hopes to connect others to the place as sustainably as possible. Janelle Hoh, Saranac Lake, NY Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism Although not a native-born Adirondacker, Janelle has been actively involved and working here for over a decade. Nature and topics related to the environment have always been her passion, which led her to pursue those topics in academia. Janelle holds a BA in environmental studies and a MS in conservation biology. Most of the work Janelle has done academically and professionally has centered around how people relate and interact with their surroundings, specifically the natural world.

Start Your Hudson Rising Journey at Thomas Cole’S Course of Empire
Recommended for Ages 7+ The Hudson River flows from the Adirondack Mountains 315 miles south to the bay between New York City and New Jersey, where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. What do you know about the Hudson River? Have you been to places along it? Hudson Rising tells the stories of how parts of the river were threatened and then later protected. Today, the movement to protect nature is called “environmentalism.” Use this guide to explore, discuss, and do fun activities in the exhibition.

Geography & Geology The human geography and the geology of the Catskill Mountains are among the things that make the region unique within New York State. Geography and geology allow us to compare our place in the world with all others, and teach people about the nature of their world and their place in it. Translated, geography means a description of the Earth (geo means Earth, and graphia means description). Geology, similarly, is the study of the Earth (again, geo means Earth, and ology is the study of). The relationship between geography and geology is an easy one
