Adirondack Experience Program (AEP) schedule and experience a summer
like never before! The AEP is an exciting wilderness outing program
developed specifically for teens. Select from a variety of trips, with

and first aid. Our trip leaders are knowledgeable and friendly. Group
sizes are kept small, usually 6 or 8 participants, ensuring quality
of instruction and positive group interaction. Much of the necessary
gear is provided, i.e. backpacks, tents, stoves and cookware. A detailed
packing list will be sent upon registration.
