Saranac Lake is an amazing place to be a child. Families who raise children in the Adirondack Mountains are rewarded with a special connection to the land and nature. This idyllic setting is a catalyst for play and learning. It helps us stay healthy and live well. The Saranac Lake area is a place where arts, education, business, and recreation all merge to make the whole better than its parts. If it takes a village to raise a child, then this is one where children thrive.
