The Adirondack-Catskill Chapter has several humanitarian programs - Youth Safari Wish, Hunts for Wounded Veterans, and the SCI SafariCare Blue Bag Program. We want to thank the Chapter members, outfitters and other donors who help to make these programs a success.

Assistance to families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis
The Chapter is a sponsor for the Help Sami Kick Cancer organization, now called The Dreaming Tree Lodge. An article in the New York Outdoor News (12/2022) brought to our attention all their programs and the willingness to arrange adaptive hunts for deserving youth. The Dreaming Tree Lodge is a place that embodies the pure enjoyment in nature by providing endless opportunities to experience the North Country!
