Chingachgook YMCA Has Free Winter ProgramsThe Chingachgook YMCA Outdoor Center on Lake George is offering free days for visitors this winter. This traditional summer camp has completed two million dollars in improvements and winterization, and now offers opportunities for schools, families, and groups throughout the year. Free Open House Days are scheduled for Sat, Feb. 12 and Sat. Mar. 4. Winter activities, snacks and a free lunch are provided. Programs include sledding, nature walks, tours, skating, and other seasonal activities. The days begin at 10AM and conclude at 4PM. Guests may enjoy as much of the day as they wish. Several other new winter programs are offered, including womenÕs weekends, family programs, skiing and snow shoeing workshops, maple sugaring demonstrations and camp programs for youth during school vacations. Several schools and recreational groups use the center for winter retreat and educational programs. George Painter, Ex. Dir. of Chingachgook, says: ÒThis is the perfect place for families, friends, and groups to have fun, relax, and spend time together - cozy cabins, tasty meals, and plenty of fun.Ó He also commented that the new Lewi Lodge Dining Hall completes ChingachgookÕs recent renovations, offering Òa comfortable, inspiring setting for any group.Ó In response to last yearÕs successful Caribbean Ecology Program, Chingachgook YMCA Outdoor Center is planning another program this year, to take place between Feb. 19 and 26. The program focuses on the small Puerto Rican Island of Culebra where participants ages 13-16 camp on the beach and spend their days snorkeling, learning about tropical island ecology and exploring the island.
