Looking for PlayADK (Adirondack Center for Play)?
You + ADKs = unforgettable adventures
Looking for something fun to do this summer? Looking for a new thrill, a new challenge, a thousand new experiences, new flavors to try, and get paid for it? That’s living and working in the Adirondacks.
Join us in upstate New York this summer, working under sunny skies on the mountain, at a mountain bike center, or a fun, unique restaurant. Finish a shift on the lake and dive in for a swim or head out on a SUP (stand up paddleboard). Spend your days off camping under a billion stars and make friends from all over the world at play and at work. That’s Adirondack living. That’s you, that’s your next adventure.
For experiences in a scenic wonderland, where playtime is just outside the door, where your dream of living and working in the great outdoors comes true, this must be the place.
“I love how accessible the outdoor opportunities are. That’s something that makes the Adirondacks such a unique destination.”
— Erik O., Brooklyn native, ADK resident
Six million acres await.
Quaint towns, big rivers, big lakes, big mountains. Biggest fun you’ll have all year. The Adirondacks are a road trip-worthy destination, just a few hours from major cities in the Northeast. Here, the air is fresh, the birds are singing all the time, and unique events happen all summer long. What are you waiting for?
“The very first time we drove into town, the scenery and setting of the village so took our breath away that I looked at my husband and said ‘I think I want to live here’ and he said ‘I think I do too.’ So we did.”
— Andrea A.
