ADK’s Homeschool in the Woods class is back for a special day hike up Mt. Jo! Join an ADK Naturalist Guide on this family friendly hike to one of the best views in the Adirondack Park. Along the way your student will learn about new spring growth and the basics of using a map and compass.

The hike will be approximately 2.5 miles round trip and we will gain 750 ft in elevation. The trail surface is uneven in places, and we will be hiking over roots and rocks. We plan to eat lunch on the summit surrounded by views of the High Peaks Wilderness.

Parents and guardians are required to stay on site during the program and are encouraged to hike with us. Tag-alongs under the age of 5 are welcome as well however, parents and guardians are responsible for supervising them throughout the hike. A multi-child discount will automatically be applied after your first student is registered. Tag-alongs under the age of 5 do not need a registration.

Parents and guardians should plan on meeting with instructors at the Adirondak Loj at 9:30am, located at 1002 Adirondack Loj Rd, Lake Placid, NY 12946. Parking at the Adirondak Loj is included with the program. We expect to be back from the hike at 2:30pm.

Are you a climate-conscious teen interested in hanging out with other teens to take some time to connect, reflect, and unwind from the weight of climate change? Join us at The Wild Center for an evening of games, food, and fun. We’ll have climate-themed Pictionary and Headbands, and the new climate action game CRACT. There will also be a prize wheel throughout the night and a teens-only space to relax with some music and chill vibes. The event starts at 5 pm and goes on until 8 pm, but you can come and go when you want! We’re channeling cozy vibes so be sure to bring your own blanket and feel free to wear pajamas! Come prepared to win some games, take a shot at winning prizes, and recharge with new friends!

*This is not a homeschool only event but members of the homeschool, student-led, North Country Climate Club will be in attendance. Come check it out and meet the homeschool climate club!

KidFit+ friends!

Sad to report I have the flu. 🙁 I like to spread the joy, not the germs–so there will be no class, tomorrow, Wednesday, March 13.

We will be adding the session on to the end of the program. Remaining session dates are:

March 20, 27
April 17, 24
May 1

Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can meet outdoors in April/May.

Stay Healthy,

Chantelle
