Outdoor Skills Workshop
ATTENTION: Those interested in learning more about safe and responsible use of the Adirondack wilderness; in particular, those looking to lead groups or wishing to expand their personal knowledge and skill.





An intensive weekend of formal and informal seminars as well as hands-on activities designed to expose wilderness users to a wide variety of skills and knowledge. Most of the time is spent out of doors, rain, snow, or shine and includes a hike up Mount Jo (ascent approx. 210 meters/710 feet, 40-60 min one way).The program is designed for adult leaders of all ages and physical conditions. Our intent is for participants to learn by observation AND participation within each individual’s capabilities.
Sponsored By: THE ADIRONDACK FORTY-SIXERS. The Forty-Sixers are a non-profit organization of those who have climbed the 46 major peaks of the Adirondacks. The Outdoor Skills Workshop is provided as a public service to all who are interested in utilizing the Adirondacks in safety and stewardship.
