We send them to Costa Rica!
But seriously, there is nothing quite like a group of people working together in the outdoors to learn leadership (and life) lessons. So with this in mind, we have begun training our future Counselors in Training with Black Mountain Expeditions. We run two different leadership training ventures in both Costa Rica and in here in NC.
Our Black Mountain Expeditions staff recently led a nine-day, fun-filled adventure through the Costa Rican rain forest. We surfed, backpacked, rafted, and rappelled while visiting the village of Piedras Blancas and volunteered with the local community. The itinerary included exploring remote caves, rappelling down a waterfall, making sugar from sugar cane using a “trapiche”, rafting down the Savegre River, and surfing the waves of Manuel Antonio. Over the course of the expedition our future CIT’s grew in leadership and developed appreciation for Costa Rican culture.
Black Mountain Expeditions offers many different amazing trips such as this and we actually still have a few spots available for this summer for folks who aren’t a part of our CIT program. Give us a call or check out the website for more information.

IMAGE CAPTION – Camp is looking beautiful in the Fall.
There is a lot happening in our little corner of the NC mountains. The Tucker Inn expansion is exceeding our expectations (it is going to be beautiful), Anne is in NC meeting new camp families, and Adam is in South Florida doing the same. We would love to invite your friends to join us too so send us an email with any friends’ addresses you would like us to mail brochures to.
Black Mountain Expeditions is picking up momentum. We have some Spring Break trips lined up climbing in Joshua Tree, CA and have added a 1 week NC Adventure. Care to join us for a Wilderness Leadership Adventure?
Fall is falling at camp. It is in the low 70′s each day and low 50′s at night, so Lake Doris is starting to get cold but we are already putting our eye in it warming up in June!
From this Haven…
