We operate from a unique, year round outdoor center based in the mountain village of Keene, NY — less than 20 minutes from Lake Placid. Our facility consists of two well-appointed lodges, a campground, secluded lean tos, a climbing wall, and it also has hiking, skiing, and climbing right out our door! In addition, we operate the region’s only ice climbing park that serves as an excellent site for beginners as well as groups to learn the ropes, so to speak, of this immensely popular winter activity.
