What is one of the oldest Adirondack Mountain economies? You probably would guess tourism and outdoor recreation. But a half a century before the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Olympic games and before the rail and roads connected these remote sylvan woods, wellness was a dominant industry.

Beginning in the 1800’s, all walks of life came for the “cure,” as TB patients sought the pristine air and natural tonics of the Adirondacks. From Robert Louis Stevenson to the baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson, whole communities were born as “Cure Cottages,” from the Great Camps to private homes in the Lake Clear, Saranac Lake and Paul Smiths area.

As the longest operating Great Camp in the Adirondack Park, family operated since 1886, the Lake Clear Lodge & Retreat continues this wellness tradition in what became known as the “Healing Woods, with a series of opportunities for self-care from intensive retreats to fun, introductory weekends as well as online gatherings. Offerings range from "Learning to Re-energize your Food,” to “Rediscovering the Multi-dimensional You, of Mind, Body & Spirit!”

Programs are coordinated by founding family member Cathy Hohmeyer, Executive Chef & Energist and a host of international, national and Adirondack wellness practitioners.

Welcome to the World of Nutritional Energetics in the Adirondack Park!
