SCOOP WILDERNESS - HIKING

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”  -- John Muir
 

SCOOP WILDERNESS - Hiking is an outdoor experience that cannot be compared to any other. You will hike (with your full backpack) over twenty miles in four days in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, view vistas of incomparable beauty, swim in crystal clear lakes, get to know your classmates as you sit around the campfire, sleep in tents under the stars, and learn what is great about Skidmore and Saratoga Springs. SCOOP Wilderness equals friendships that last forever and countless unforgettable memories.

Experienced, licensed guides and SCOOP Peer Advisors will ensure your safety and enjoyment. Students who opt for this program will be provided with a list of camping needs.  We urge you to wear broken in hiking boots. Other wilderness options are canoeing or a combination of hiking and canoeing.
