Backpacking - Bear
Description
Join us for an exciting week-long introductory adventure of wilderness living! As we travel down the beautiful trails of Wilson Creek Wilderness Area, near Marion, NC, we will explore the rock outcroppings and trout-filled mountain streams, experience the clear mountain air and dappled sunshine, increase our backpacking and wilderness knowledge, and develop confidence and new friendships.

This is an advanced-level backpacking trip designed for older teens with backpacking experience. the hiking is strenuous with elevation and 4 to 6 miles a day. A central part of this experience is that we will work on building a community in which we can share stories and deep nature connections. There will be an option to do a solo overnight.
