Join us for a day of adventure in the Catskill Mountains on May 10!

This fun-filled day in nature includes a variety of hiking options, from gentle to super strenuous, with time for bonding, exploring, and enjoying some downtime in the beauty of the Catskills. We'll enjoy a post-hike stop in the quaint and walkable Village of Catskill, home to two breweries and a cidery, all within a half mile radius, the perfect place to refresh before hitting the road back downstate.

Our professional outdoor guides will serve a delicious, healthy lunch with vegan and vegetarian options and we'll have snack options such as assorted trail mixes and granola bars available throughout the day.
