Our Not-for-Profit Organizations

Pond Sprint and Pond Hike proceeds will support two not-for-profit organizations:  Adirondack Scholarship Foundation, and the Long Pond Conservancy program of Champlain Area Trails.

The mission of Adirondack Scholarship Foundation is to provide financial aid to children attending summer camp; proceeds from POND SPRINT will be specifically earmarked towards sending a local child (Essex or Clinton County, New York) to a summer camp.

Long Pond Conservancy is a program of Champlain Area Trails, with a mission “to preserve the wild nature of Long Pond and its watershed by protecting the clean water and forest that surround it. Working with landowners, we seek to balance use with the conservation of scenic vistas, natural areas, and forest and lake ecologies.”
