To continue our mission of responsible wilderness leadership, our Leadership In Training (LIT) program is working closely with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to help maintain the heavily used trails in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks. This area delivers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the state and is home to rare fauna and an array of wildlife, making it an incredible place to explore.
The rising interest in backpacking and hiking has taken its toll on the delicate balance between recreational use and the integrity of the natural environment. Our LIT’s are not only going to be learning the best principals to minimize their impact while camping and traveling in these environments, they are going to be activity rebuilding trails.
We have three groups that will be working towards the completion of one large community service project throughout this summer. Each LIT group will build on the previous group’s hard work and we can’t wait to see how much can be accomplished by 24 rugged mountain folk in nine days. While Chingachgook campers get the chance to enjoy nature’s beauty in our own backyard, we are proud to be among the many organizations working to preserve and protect the Adirondacks for generations to come!
There are still opportunities to be a part of this incredible experience and help conserve this amazing wilderness. This two week leader-in-training adventure trip, offered over various dates, will have you exploring the Adirondacks and your leadership potential. Investigate leadership styles, interpersonal communication, and trip-leading skills through hands-on learning in a variety of workshops and adventure activities.
