On your Hante you will have the wonderful opportunity to travel simply through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains with a close community of friends and peers on local rivers, rocks and trails. Your journey will begin at Eagle’s Nest Camp where you set goals for your trip with your instructors and peers. The group will work on their paddling and climbing skills before setting off from campus. From here you will sojourn out into the beautiful Western North Carolina watersheds to begin your 4 days of paddling local whitewater rivers. After your trip on the local rivers, you will get to experience some of the Southeast’s most amazing climbing that we are so grateful to have adjacent to Eagle’s Nest Camp. Campers will be working together on teamwork, communication and leadership during the climbing portion of the trip. Camper’s will experience a progression to be confident and comfortable on the rock. Camper’s will finally have the chance to practice their leadership skills by planning their backpacking trip in Pisgah Forest. Instructors will be able to guide them through the process, but most importantly, camper’s get to take ownership of their experience with the instructors assisting them the entire time while they are on the trail.
