OK, so it really won’t be your own private island and we’re not actually renting out an island. But because of the timing, there’s no one else camping because school's in session, families are working, and the only way to get to our campground is by paddling, which locals mostly stop doing in the fall for some reason. We take advantage and enjoy almost 100% privacy and ridiculous northeast colors.

Oh, and we're not just feeding you regular freeze-dried food and trail mix. Oh-no! We've invited celebrity camp chef, Sebastian Jaramillo Castro and his partner Gabriela Belen Gutierrez Cruz to hook it up! So, this may be the best weekend of your entire year! And it's Indigenous People's Day Weekend, which we'll be observing.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Day 1: It’s a full day’s roadtrip with a supply stop. Arriving around 5p. Then a paddle out to our campground. Then camp set up, campfire, and chill from 7p on.
Day 2: Next day Sunday, breakfast around 9am. Then from around 10am to 6pm, we explore islands, tributaries, creeks, everything via canoe, with some portaging involved, as far as we can go, using our campsite as our very own personal HQ.
Day 3: Monday, breakfast around 9am. Then we explore areas we missed and/or other activities like fishing, swimming, etc. Pack-up, paddle-out around 1p. We head back Monday afternoon.

The itinerary is fluid, meaning we get there when we get there, we get started when we get started, we wrap up when we wrap up.

You’re getting a roadtrip, mouth-watering food, fun times, good vibes, awesome activities, and a chance to unplug and relax on an (almost private) island in the middle of a gorgeous lake in heart of the Saranac region in upstate NY for a week, surrounded by an explosion of fall colors, all hosted by our amazing Outerthere hosts! What. Are. You. Waiting. For. Sign up ASAP - this trip will sell out!
