Take a breather from the city and spend a day in the beautiful Hudson Valley.  We have a marvelous adventure planned that has a little something for everyone. You will start the day hiking scenic trails while joining members of our overnight camping trip for more outdoor fun. We will visit the grounds of the NYSN private campsite at the Vinecroft Estate in Esopus, NY and venture to a hard cider orchard.

What to expect:

  • You may take Metro-North or drive to meet the group in Poughkeepsie, NY. From there your guide will pick you up in our van and bring you to an easy Level 4/5 hike (out of 10 difficulty).
  • Next, we will head to the NYSN private riverside estate for a BBQ lunch with the weekend campers outside at the campsite.
  • After lunch we’ll socialize, play games and hike the property. You’re welcome to take out one of our kayaks or go swimming in the river. A place to change and a shower are available.
  • Later in the afternoon we will head to a local hard cider orchard for
    socializing and samples.
  • You will be brought back to the Poughkeepsie train station in time for the
    5:50 pm Metro-North train back to the city.
