About

Camp Santanoni's annual Winter Weekends are back!

Join us for a ski or snowshoe during Camp Santanoni's annual Winter Weekends! You'll be able to go into the Gate Lodge and Main Lodge of the Camp, view displays about the Great Camp and take short interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage volunteers. The 10-mile round trip on gently rolling terrain will take you past the Santanoni Farm and through the Forest Preserve on a wide, old road (no vehicle access).

Stop into the Gate Lodge Visitors Center to see interpretive displays and borrow snowshoes provided by the Adirondack Interpretive Center (AIC) if needed. The Artist’s Studio, a stone building near the Main Lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, will be open as a warming hut. Enjoy free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate by the woodstove (bring a cup if you can, but we'll have plenty available!). Visitors are also encouraged to take the half-mile trail that connects the Santanoni Road to the AIC’S 3.6-mile trail system. The center’s buildings will be open during the weekend.
