Twin Valleys gives you the opportunity to reconnect with nature, yourself, family and friends.

At Twin Valleys, "Nature itself is the great teacher!"
David H. Levy of the Jarnac Observatory, Inc. in Vail, Arizona, Science Editor of Parade Magazine, author or editor of numerous books and discoverer of over 21 comets to date, participated for 3 summers (1964 - 1966) at Twin Valleys Science Camp. David said this about his experience at Twin Valleys;

"Twin Valleys provided me my first serious dark sky experience. For those three summers (at Twin Valleys) I did much more than see the Adirondack sky; I experienced it...I got to learn the sky on its own terms and how it related to the Earth...By my third summer I was starting on my life's most ambitious adventure, my search for comets. Twin Valleys can give any person the experience I had...It is a place from which someone can experience the Adirondack Wild at work. Twin Valleys will not teach you the diameter of an owl's head, but it will let you experience how the owl interacts with the land and with other life forms. At Twin Valleys, Nature itself is the great teacher."

Located 40 miles south of SUNY Plattsburgh campus, Twin Valleys occupies 662 acres of Adirondack woodland with bubbling brooks and dense grassy meadows.
