Dear Wandah, my camper wants to explore nature more because we live in the city. What are some activities she should sign up for?
We offer several classes and out of camp trips your camper should consider taking. The first class is Nature, where they get to explore camp, go for creek walks, and even find skinks by the waterfall. The second class is Beginner Backpacking, where they learn to build fires, how to properly put them out, and explore the nature of camp by going on several of our in camp hiking trails. They also get to experience a night out in the woods practicing their tent building skills. Finally, our Hilltop campers can take Advanced Backpacking where they build on the skills they have learned in previous summers and then put those to the test. Highlights of the trip include beautiful days on the trails, a stunning sunset from the peak of Pilot Mountain, the BEST hidden swimming hole, and s'mores by the campfire under the stars each night! Our out of camp trips at an additional cost include an adventure on The Gorge Zipline in Saluda, NC, white water rafting on the Nantahala or the Chattooga, a slide down Sliding Rock in Pisgah Forest, hiking to an overlook and waterfall at beautiful Chimney Rock and other potential adventures in Western North Carolina.
