An alternative to the traditional educational destinations of the Northeast can be found in Eastern Upstate New York. A full day tour guided by Olympic Athletes at Lake Placid provides your students with an opportunity to actually practice at the Olympic training facility. Add to this a tour of Fort Ticonderoga, Ausable Chasm, Herkimer Diamond Mines, the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, Howes Cavern and the Baseball Hall of Fame—and you have a wonderful sampling of the geology and history of the region.
