About This Activity
This is an introduction to backpacking for younger teens with a sense of adventure and who wish to learn the skills of wilderness living. We are sending our most experienced counselors to help facilitate a heart-filled excursion in the wilderness. Come explore trout filled mountain streams, winding trails, waterfalls, and rock outcroppings in Wilson Creek Wilderness Area, near Marion, NC. Experience the clear mountain air, dappled sunshine and uncommon plants and animals of the southern Appalachians. We will meet at Piedmont Wildlife Center, load up our rental van and embark upon a week of wilderness living and backpacking. *Drop-in orientation meeting and gear inventory 2 weeks prior to departure! **Due to COVID-19, we will not be arranging group transportation- participants will need to be dropped off at the Wilson Creek Wilderness Area midday on Sunday, June 27 and picked up midday on Friday, July 2.
