Directions

Because Sugar Maples is relatively new to the area, signage is minimal, so please take the time to study the map and directions before setting off on your course. It is highly recommended that students travel by car. However, if public transportation is necessary, the closest bus stop is Adirondack Trailways' Windham stop (roughly 5 minutes from campus). A shuttle service from the bus stop can be arranged through Sugar Maples for a fee of $10 each way. Please contact 518 263 2073 at least two weeks prior to your class start date to arrange a shuttle.
