area, where we will
canoe through
the pristine boreal forests and bogs, and continue exploring

evening you are on your own for lodging. (We will help you find
suitable lodging!!)

we meet early for breakfast, then travel to The Natural History
Museum of the Adirondacks
(The “W!LD
Center”). We will spend the morning with a naturalist, exploring the
museum.
Leaving the Adirondacks happier, healthier, and
wiser, you return home to engage your
students in
what nature can bring to the classroom!!
