What would William West Durant say about incorporating computer technology at Pine Knot?

We would have to think he would be in favor. Durant established the first telegraph service in the area to keep connected with all of his business deals happening hundreds of miles away. The former telegraph office is still located in the Guide House.

SUNY Cortland has recognized the value of outdoor and environmental education since the mid-1930s when it began to require physical education students to participate in two-week camping programs as part of their formal training. Opportunities for study and field work in the outdoors have expanded greatly since that time and many of Cortland’s academic departments now make use of first of the Great Adirondack Camps which the College has developed to support outdoor and environmental education programs.

The Antlers camp, on the west side of Raquette Lake, serves both as a docking area for those going to Camp Huntington and as a site for conferences and classes.

The Outdoor Education Center provides an outstanding natural setting for students to examine most aspects of the environment. The Center’s forests, bogs and ponds serve as natural laboratories for courses in the biological sciences. Raquette Lake provides an elaborate research area in which students examine the unpolluted waters.

Physical education and recreation students also make extensive use of the Outdoor Education Center in required and elective courses. Students from all disciplines enjoy opportunities at the Center to learn how to use the outdoors as a classroom for academic subjects and to learn to develop an appreciation for the outdoor environment.
