Book Discussion Club
📚 August Book Spotlight: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi
The August selection for the Newcomb Book Discussion Group is Theo of Golden, a touching novel that celebrates the power of community, friendship, and the extraordinary impact of ordinary lives. Set in the small town of Golden, Georgia, the story follows Theo Boyd, a quiet handyman whose simple acts of kindness leave a lasting mark on those around him. Through a series of interconnected stories, Allen Levi crafts a heartfelt and inspiring reminder of the importance of human connection. Now is a great time to pick up a copy and start reading. We look forward to discussing this memorable novel together in August. Happy reading 📖

Biking Camp Santanoni
Camp Santanoni’s storied road has always been a popular mountain bike ride – and now you can pair that ride with a fully guided experience of all three of the site’s historic complexes! This exciting “bring your own bike” experience takes you to Santanoni’s Gate Lodge, Farm Complex, and scenic Main Camp overlooking Newcomb Lake. Start your day with a brief orientation to Camp Santanoni, the only publicly-owned Adirondack Great Camp and one of the region’s most treasured historic places. Then, learn some of the secrets of the Gate Lodge, West Cottage, and surrounding landscape before setting off on the road. We will stop at a few points of interest on the 4.8-mile road, including the site’s historic Farm Complex, formerly a sprawling, 200-acre expanse that was home to several families and a remarkable array of animals. Next, we will enjoy an extended tour of the Main Camp that includes a guided walk to the historic bathhouse for a stunning view of Newcomb Lake and the mountains beyond. This experience will offer something for new and seasoned visitors to Santanoni alike.
This outing is led by DEC Agency Preservation Officer Jennifer Betsworth, and begins at 9 AM and ends at 3 PM.
There is a suggested donation of $45. This event is first come, first served.
Please note that this excursion requires attendees to bring their own bicycles and cycle 9.6 miles (round trip) on a dirt road into and out of camp. The road features a mix of flat, rolling, and uneven terrain.

Book Discussion Club
📚 October Book Spotlight 📚
The October selection for the Newcomb Book Discussion Group is The Searcher by Tana French, a New York Times bestselling author celebrated for her richly atmospheric and compelling mysteries.
Set in a quiet rural village in western Ireland, the novel follows retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper, who hopes to leave his past behind and enjoy a peaceful new life. But when a local boy asks for help finding his missing brother, Cal uncovers long-buried secrets that reveal there is far more beneath the surface of this seemingly tranquil community. Blending mystery, suspense, and unforgettable characters, The Searcher is a thoughtful and gripping novel that explores trust, belonging, and the hidden complexities of small-town life.
Now is a great time to pick up a copy and start reading. We look forward to discussing this captivating novel together in October. Happy reading! 📖
Open to all adults (18+) who enjoy thoughtful fiction and lively discussion.

Leave No Trace Awareness Workshop
So you left a trace, maybe it was smore goo at your campsite, a wrapper dropped on a trail, or a banana peel on the side of a road; we’ve all been there. Little traces like that might not seem big, but they sure do add up. To help keep our wild spaces clean and protect everything living in them join the AIC for a Leave No Trace awareness workshop. You’ll learn how humans impact the environment and how to make sure you leave as few traces as possible.
