Alternative Spring Break Weekend

This program invites college students from BIPOC communities to spend their spring break exploring and engaging with the natural world. It offers a unique opportunity for students to step off campus and discover the beautiful landscapes and resources of the Adirondacks they may not have had the chance to experience or feel confident exploring on their own. The program provides students with the opportunity to learn about political and social community dynamics, while becoming a catalyst for collaborative social change. Through direct service, education and reflection, all students involved will be challenged to understand their relationship with the real-life social issues, while encouraging personal growth, social awareness, and active citizenship. While focusing collective minds on the intersections of racial and environmental justice the program aims to shape the future stewards of our park, fostering a deeper connection to nature and a commitment to environmental equity.
