NEW
YORK, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), America's oldest conservation and
recreation organization, announced today that its famed Stephen
& Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center in New York's Harriman State Park is open for the
2024 season.
"The Corman Harriman Outdoor Center is one of Greater New York City's hidden gems,"
said Nicole Zussman, President and CEO of the Appalachian
Mountain Club. "If you are looking to unwind in nature, it doesn't
matter if your ideal day is hiking, swimming, or simply sunbathing;
it's all here and within reach."
Just one hour from New York
City and nestled deep in the state's second-largest park,
the outdoor center is a convenient natural oasis for city dwellers.
The waterfront dock provides guests with ample swimming and
paddling opportunities, with free kayak rentals for overnight
guests. The camp's proximity to Harriman State Park's trail network
makes it ideal for hiking, biking, and more. Corman Harriman
Outdoor Center often hosts group activities by AMC's Chapters,
which are open to the public and available for every skill
level.
Accommodations include group and family cabins, tent platforms,
and three-sided shelters, offering a range of overnight
experiences. Guests can purchase buffet-style dinner and
breakfast service for stays from July through October,
with to-go trail lunches available on an à la carte basis.
Grilling and camp cooking opportunities are also available. The
facility is a great location for scouting, school, faith-based, and
youth groups, as well as family reunions and corporate outings. AMC
Guides are available to plan custom adventures for groups
staying at Corman Harriman Outdoor Center.
AMC guests have a positive impact on conservation efforts in the
Northeast. Reservation fees go towards the nonprofit's mission of
fostering the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the
outdoors. That includes AMC's work to create, maintain, and
preserve more than 1,800 miles of trails. In addition, AMC's
conservation team produces high-quality, peer-reviewed data and
analysis on climate change, air and water quality, forests, and
mountain ecosystems in collaboration with some of the region's most
highly regarded universities and agency partners to inform
policymakers in protecting the outdoors.
"We hope visitors feel good knowing that their stay directly
supports conserving the landscapes that they enjoy," added Zussman.
"Staying with AMC or participating in our programs directly
supports our work."
Limited reservations are still available for the 2024 season.
