is a nonprofit organization based at the Ausable Club in St. Huberts, New York, founded in 1897 first to develop and maintain [1] and later to ensure regular maintenance and consistent marking of the trails in the St. Huberts and Ausable Lakes area of the Adirondack High Peaks.
[2] Later, the organization began hiring trail counselors to lead hiking and camping trips, thus expanding its mission to include education on the proper use and enjoyment of the Adirondack wilderness.
During July and August, the same staff supervises daily and overnight hiking and canoeing trips for children aged 6–15.
[4] There is also a schedule of volunteer-led trips for adults, and occasional lectures and other events during the summer season.
The picnic includes water sports, canoe races, recognition of achievements and, in August, a skit.
