July 26, 2022 — Lake Placid, NY — ADK (Adirondack Mountain Club) is excited to announce that Daria Stacy will be joining its education team as Outdoor Skills Coordinator in August. Daria is a familiar face at ADK; she previously worked as a Summer Naturalist Intern in 2021 and currently works as Outdoor Educator for the organization.

A Rochester native, Daria recently graduated from SUNY Cortland with a master’s degree in Outdoor and Environmental Education. Her thesis focused on outdoor navigation in the Adirondack Park. She is also a Wilderness First Responder, Certified Interpretive Guide, and a NYS Licensed Guide.
