Why choose Six Flags The Great Escape
Why Queensbury, New York?
Queensbury sits right beside Lake George — the famous “Queen of American Lakes” — surrounded by the Adirondack Mountains. On your days off you can swim and kayak on crystal-clear water, hike Prospect Mountain for panoramic views, take a lake cruise, explore the beaches and arcades of Lake George Village, or ride the roller coasters at the park itself. The area is a genuine American summer holiday town: lively, safe, full of international students, and packed with things to do.
Queensbury is also within easy reach of bigger adventures — Albany is about an hour away, Montreal roughly three hours, and New York City is a popular weekend trip. Because the program runs into the fall, you’ll also get to see the legendary Adirondack autumn colours, one of the most spectacular natural displays in the world.
About New York
New York State runs from the energy of New York City to the Adirondacks, lakes and Niagara Falls. Students work in city hotels and restaurants as well as mountain and lake resorts upstate.
