Newcomb VIC Calendar
The Newcomb VIC offers a wide variety of free and low-cost public programs
throughout the year. Participants, young and old, learn about all assets
of the unique Adirondack Park with hands-on activities both inside and
outside the buildings. Many programs are designed so people can enjoy
the natural wonders of the mountains, flora and fauna found along the
scenic VIC trails.
