ADK: Lake Placid & Old Forge Nov 8-11

November 8-11 we are going on the most excellent adventure for a “small city trip.”

Accommodations: Massawepie Scout Camp on Massawepie Rd, Tupper Lake, NY 12986. It is appropriately a 5 hr drive so we will arrive there late. We will leave from Blessed Sacrament on Friday, November 8th. The cabins will be approximately $25/person, depending on how many sign up.

You will need to cover food purchases on the way to camp and coming home.

Food: $25/person to cover snacks at camp, 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches and one dinner.

Saturday Nov 9th we will have breakfast at camp, pack a lunch, then head to The Wild Center at 45 Museum Drive, Tupper Lake, NY 12986. It is 18 mins from camp. It is a free admission day 10am-5pm so we are taking advantage! We are setting this whole day aside for The Wild Center because it’s fabulous and so much to do! We will have dinner at camp.

Sunday, Nov 10th we will have breakfast at camp, pack a lunch and head to The Olympic Center in Lake Placid at 2634 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946. It is an hour drive. We will be able to take a tour, ice skate and see where our US Olympians train! I am working on a price with them but it will be similar to this: ice skating $10/person and a tour $15/person. There is a gift shop. We will be having dinner at Roamers Cafe at the Olympic Center. This dinner you will pay on your own. This is the menu (dinner is appropriately $20/person): the https://lakeplacidolympiccenter.com/roamers-cafe/
We will head back to camp for the rest of the evening.

Monday, Nov 11th we will have breakfast, pack up and head out to the Old Forge Hardware store at 104 Fulton St, Old Forge, NY 13420. It is open 8am-5pm. It is an hour and 45 mins to get there. If you have been to Viddlers in East Aurora, this similar but more! This store is on a street teaming with gift shops and more. You will cover your own purchases at the stores. Afterwards, we will take the 4 hour drive home.

We will need adults to go with us. Gas & tolls will be added to the per person rate and reimbursed to each driver.

If you want to go please respond to this email. The Adirondack region is gorgeous and should be experienced.
