Explore. Educate. Protect.
Since 1922, ADK has been teaching people how to explore and protect New York's public lands and waters.
Based out of the Adirondack Park in New York State, ADK is a leader in providing outdoor education, promoting responsible recreation, and organizing stewardship experiences. Our seasonal staff work out of three locations near Lake Placid, NY: the Heart Lake Program Center, Cascade Welcome Center, and Johns Brook Lodge.
