AMAZING
MORNINGS.......
Pioneer
Heritage Festivals - Everybody becomes an apprentice at
our pioneer homestead helping in the blacksmith shop, spinning
wool, gem mining, pressing apple cider, making candles and feeding
the barnyard animals. You can also join in the cat-fishing tournament,
lumberjack competition and old-time songs.
Cherokee Times - Travel back in time to our secret Cherokee
Village. You'll learn their traditional ways including making
pottery and baskets, grinding corn and even learning how to
throw a tomahawk! Kids can also learn authentic Cherokee games
and songs.
& More - Other mornings we'll sweep you away on big
group challenges on our adventure course, our orienteering course
and our deep woods mystery special called "King's Quest".
AWESOME AFTERNOONS........
Every afternoon, you'll be invited to join in an exciting "wet
& wild" water adventure. One day, staff
will lead you to thundering King's Falls. The next might be
a creek hike and water slide on Crystal Creek or the outback
destination of the West Fork of the French Broad River. Other
afternoons it's "water games" in our mountaintop meadows.
In all cases, it's wet and wild and very Earthshine.
EXCELLENT EVENINGS.........
 After
dinner, staff will take you to a special spot on our mountaintop
for stories around the campfire, mountain music and dance, old-timey
games, scavenger hunts, and such. Each evening is different.
Those that are ready for some peace and quiet can just watch
the sunset out on the deck of the lodge.
