Students at Adirondack Leadership Expeditions wake up to stunning vistas and breathtaking views of the Adirondack mountains. A hearty breakfast cooked over the campfire is followed by a group processing session and a day of hiking through the forests, streams and fields of Saranac Lake, New York. Field Supervisors join the group a minimum of two days per week. On those days students participate in individual and group counseling.
