We will do our best to notify you the night before, but we all know Adirondack weather can change in an instant, so in some cases we will have to cancel the morning of. Parents are asked to send their kids prepared with a comfortable backpack with water, snacks, and lunch. Also be sure to always bring and extra warm layer (non cotton) and a rain jacket.
