Santanoni Winter Weekend (February)

Grab your skis or snowshoes and join us at Great Camp Santanoni for special winter tours of the Main Camp between 10 AM and 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday! This event provides a rare opportunity to go inside buildings and meet guides at the Main Camp during the winter months. The nine-mile round trip on gently rolling terrain will take you past the Santanoni Farm and through the Forest Preserve on a wide, well-maintained trail. This program is free and open to the public, no registration required.

The Artist’s Studio at the Main Camp complex, will be open as a warming hut from 10 AM to 3 PM both days. Bring your own cup (or use one of ours!) and enjoy free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate by the woodstove.

This year, the SUNY ESF’s Adirondack Interpretive Center will provide snowshoes at no cost for any visitors without their own at Newcomb Pines (5699 Route 28N, Newcomb).

Need additional gear? Reach out to Cloudsplitter Outfitters in Newcomb for renting gear as well.

NOTE: Winter conditions can change quickly in the backcountry. Be prepared with extra warm clothing and adequate supplies for your trip.

This event is hosted by Adirondack Architectural Heritage, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Town of Newcomb, and the SUNY ESF Adirondack Interpretive Center.
