Many don't know there is a long tradition of education in the Adirondacks. Early on, individuals learned all there was about the outdoors from Adirondack guides, who made their living exploring the vast Adirondack wilderness.

Today, you'll find different sorts of guides in the Saranac Lake area who offer components for you to create your own learning vacation. Take an art workshop, a class on canning locally-grown produce, or learn your way around the Adirondack Mountains and rivers with a guide. Learn how to weave a pack basket and engage with activities for the whole family! Experiential vacations yield both memories and a skill — there are opportunities for a learning trip for everyone who visits Saranac Lake.
