SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack 46ers are supporting an education outreach college intern this summer for the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation. From June through August, this intern will provide a series of educational presentations at day and sleep-away summer camps across the Adirondack Park.

Under the guidance of the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation’s staff, the intern will conduct interactive presentations, storytelling- and art-based projects to engage campers in learning about loon ecology and conservation.

“The Adirondack 46ers is an organization focused on protection of natural resources. We foster appreciation of those resources through conservation, education, and outreach in the mountains and the greater Adirondack community,” said Laurie Rankin, president of the 46ers. “We believe the ACLC has similar goals, albeit with loons. This opportunity to provide children with inspiration and excitement regarding stewardship of the environment is one we fully support!”

Nine summer camps have already booked their presentations with the ACLC’s intern this summer. To learn more, or to schedule a presentation, contact the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation at education@adkloon.org or 518-354-8636.
