We lead exciting tubing trips on the picturesque Schroon River bordering our resort, engage bandits with super-soakers in heated battle as we conduct train and wagon rides, sift through mining “rough” with kids on the search for that perfect gem, assist families as they embark on canoe, kayak or electric boat excursions, prepare guests to zoom away on pedal carts, and play area host as we safely escort guests in our comfortable shuttle to and from Lake George Village. Our associates are highly energetic, flexible and fun-loving people who (don’t take themselves too seriously and) enjoy working with children, families and one another.
