SCOOP Basecamp Adventure 
Do you feel like you are not quite ready to pitch a tent under the stars or carry a fully-loaded backpack for miles but, want some adventure and nights under the stars around a fire?
For students who are uncomfortable with the idea of a complete outdoor camping experience, we suggest SCOOP's lodging component.
Camp Skye Farm provides lodging in traditional camp cabins (beds and bathrooms, no linens, warm sleeping bags and a pillow required)
Each day will be a different adventure including white water rafting, hiking, canoeing and more and you will have the opportunity to try an old Adirondack tradition Log Rolling in the lake.
Each night you can sit around the campfire with your new friends and peer leaders and ask any questions you may have about Skidmore, residential life, academics, clubs, sports and more. Come play in the Adirondacks with us!
Do not forget your required paperwork to attend SCOOP!
All can be found here on the SCOOP homepage.
