Rock N’ Roll
Campers ages 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15—Come rock out some of the toughest rock faces in Tennessee! If that wasn’t enough, roll through the white water of the Hiawassee River. Start this six day adventure with technical rock climbing on Star Mountain overlooking the Hiawassee River. After two days of the amazing view try to kayak it. We will take part in white water kayak instruction, rescues, and rafting. Finally a short hike on Friday will take your breath away when you end up at an 80 foot waterfall. If this isn’t extreme, then you can call me crazy! Check-In Sunday 1:00 p.m. Check-Out Friday 6:30 p.m.
This expedition trip is offered for Session 1 (June 1-6) and Session 9 (July 27-August 1).
