The Hudson Valley Adventure House is NYSN’s home base for themed group weekend getaways and retreats in the Hudson Valley!  Just 65 miles north of NYC and easy to get to by Metro-North, Amtrak, Trailways bus or car, it is your guaranteed fresh air and fun destination this summer!

Each weekend the house will have a different theme to get you out and enjoying the countryside of the Hudson Valley. This weekend you have a chance to enjoy our Hike and BBQ Day trip PLUS stay overnight with a small group of members.
