Summer Camps and Youth Programs

Our mission is to inspire curiosity, discovery, and stewardship through the wonders of the Blue Ridge. Through that mission, we envision a world with a deep understanding and appreciation of place. We accomplish this by connecting people to nature through immersion programming. Our camps are led by highly skilled guides who understand how to develop curiosity, foster autonomy, and be model citizens. With a focus on interest-driven and hands-on learning and a low staff-to-child ratio, our campers develop skills and life-enriching hobbies that will pay dividends for years to come. We utilize a scientific investigative approach to develop critical thinking skills and inspire further engagement. 

Scholarships are a key part of our camps and are given for both MERIT and NEED. If your kid has a drive to attend one of our camps, we encourage you to fill out the Scholarship Application.
