July 4-10

9th-12th grade

This is one of our first trips of the year. The water is still high and the paddling is good. To spend a day in a kayak is to spend a day being one with the lake or stream or river. You can't help but feel close to creation. 

You and your small group will form wonderful bonds as you camp and journey together through some of the Adirondacks most beautiful terrain. 

This trip will be one  you remember for a lifetime.

Due to the nature of our activities, our route may vary from that which is below. Weather conditions, the make up and size of the group, and the group’s objectives may all factor into how far and where we travel. 

Monday – Buck State Campground on Rainbow Lake, carry into Jones Pond to camp

Tuesday – Paddle through Jones Pond to Osgood pond, carry through Paul Smiths to Lower St. Regis Lake to Spitfire Lake to Upper St. Regis Lake North Bay, hike into Marvin Pond lean-to to camp.

Wednesday – Leave gear, hike St. Regis Mountain

Thursday – Upper St. Regis Lake, carry to Bog Pond, carry to Bear Pond, carry to Little Long Pond, carry to Green Pond, carry to St. Regis Pond, camp in lean-to on St. Regis Pond
