Location

Our campus is located in Brasstown, NC, 10 minutes from John C. Campbell Folk School.  Pickup and drop-off will occur at our campus and most activities will take place there except for field trips to various wilderness areas for our outdoor adventures.

Our Focus

Our camps will be based on three main components: Pioneer skills, Arts & crafts, and Outdoor adventure.  Students will get the opportunity to work in each of these disciplines during their session, instead of just focusing on one or the other.  We will integrate lots of fun games and teambuilding activities while still remaining focused on the three components. 

 

Schedule

Students will come from 9AM- 4PM on weekdays and can choose between 4 sessions (listed above) or do them all!
