  • Meet with like-minded students from regional schools to share stories, exchange ideas, and make new friends.
  • Visit our beautiful campus in the mountains of North Carolina where you’ll sleep in a rustic cabin and eat great food.
  • Have FUN - Climb a rock tower, paddle a canoe, and explore our forest.
