Summit Base Is...
A unique collection of challenging outdoor activities.  Surrounded by the tremendous opportunities of the Adirondack Park, our program creates a full experience for any skill level.

Our trek program will carry you anywhere in the Park.  In camp, you can rock climb, participate in Project COPE, use our indoor climbing wall or take advantage of our guide services within our local mountain ranges.

 
Summit Base is located at Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation in the Adirondack Park of New York State.

The six million acre Adirondack Park is comprised of breathtaking mountain ranges, inspiring valleys, thousands of pristine lakes and miles of rivers and trails.

The 'North Country' is an abundance of opportunities for an individual to test oneself physically, mentally and emotionally against country as rugged and untamed as it is beautiful.

Upcoming Programs
Winter
Ice climbing weekends in January through March. 

Summer

Staffing
Our programs provide excellent leadership. We staff only BSA National Camp School (NCS) certified guides. Our COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) and climbing programs are overseen by a NCS certified director. We take great pride in our younger staff who have participated in our programs in the past and who are now taking on leadership responsibilities.
