At ESC there is always something brewing. Through community partnerships and collaboration, we are better able to serve the Etown community.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded a grant from the Generous Acts at Adirondack Foundation - a force for good that pools gifts from generous donors who love the Adirondacks and care about our communities.
​
This grant will help us to expand capacity in order to regrow our Teen Rec program and expand programs for the whole community. We are so excited for this phase of Center history!
