Whether you are a first time visitor or a regular to the Adirondacks, we look forward to guiding you on unique outdoor experiences that will transform how you perceive and relate to nature, allowing you to feel yourself a part of the land, in an environment that fosters community and well being. We carefully create sensory adventures that ignite your sense of wonder and renew your childhood playfulness without the pressure of goals or objectives. Your wellbeing, and nature's, are at the heart of everything we do. 

 

Sensory Snowshoeing

Imagine yourself in a snowy forest. Notice the patterns of light and shadow on the snow. Cup your ears forward with your hands, like deer ears, to amplify the forest sounds: The breeze rustling in the pine trees? The crunch of your snowshoes? Listen to the silence between the sounds. Inhale the scent of evergreen needles on cool crisp air. Discover the distinct texture of each tree's bark. There's so much to notice...

Sensory Snowshoeing combines guided sensory activities with free time for exploration. Each experience is unique, tailored to the group, the location and what is calling out in nature on that particular day. Your certified and experienced guide will help you slow down, so you can notice so much more around you, so you can get up close to nature. And when you use your senses intentionally, it makes you mindful, effortlessly. There is no better place to experience it than the winter wonderland of the Adirondacks!

Sensory Snowshoeing is a 2.5 hour guided experience on gentle terrain, making it accessible for everyone, with or without snowshoeing experience. Snowshoes are included. Looking for a new experience to share with your family? Children 6 and up are welcome.

We are available to guide you every day of the week. Book early to ensure we are available on the day of your choice. Driving directions and recommendations for what to wear and bring will be sent with your booking confirmation.
