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 Artist’s Studio, a stone building near the Main Lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, will be open as a warming hut. Enjoy complimentary 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 on weekends.

The Language of Wonder Workshop

Sunday, July 28th, 11am

Nothing conveys possibility and wonder like the beings that grow in the forest. On July 28th, 2024, from 11am to 12:45, join poet and writer Susan Jefts to explore some poems and a bit of science celebrating the amazing lives of trees. We'll take a short walk on the Adirondack Interpretive Center trails through the woods near the lakeshore, where you'll be guided into what images, scents, and sounds carry energy and meaning for you. We'll use poetry and forest prompts as guides for writing our own expressions of wonder. No experience with poetry needed. Bring a pen and notebook.

Cost: $15 per person
