This is the experience you've been searching for
It's just after dawn and a light mist lingers over the Adirondack Mountains. A brilliant lake sprawls before you --crisp, navy blue silk, just barely rippling beneath the morning breeze. As your kayak slices through the water a lone bird warbles overhead and you experience a moment of genuine bliss.
This is not a moment taken from your perfect summer vacation, but what could become your typical morning before heading to class at Paul Smith's College in upstate New York.
