Boys did High Adventure Backpacking-2 different treks. They loved it! Amazing views with gorgeous mountain landscapes to walk through on Joyce Kilmer Trail, and beautiful terrain with breathtaking waterfalls on Panther town Trek-which one waterfall you can walk behind it (like in The Last of the Mohicans). Also enjoyed and give a special thanks to the High Adventure staff that make these treks possible-they are cut from a special cloth. The camp itself is beautiful and diverse, with a lake, great amphitheater, grand dining hall, picturesque stream running through it, campsites on hillside toward Boonesboro and opposite side toward other trailheads. Some troops I met enjoyed at least one hike, who had a variety to choose from easy to hard right at their doorstep-you should buy trail maps ahead of time if going on the cooler/hard trails up the mountains or even consider adding pre-trip through areas near Sliding Rock (near Brevard, NC), which is Panther town area with a few waterfalls right off the roadside. Many quality merit badge counselors, even extra horseback riding and animal study options. And let s not forget to say how cool visiting Boonesboro Village was! That is another request to go back just to sign up for a mountain man camp week from boys. Might want to bring extra money for the artisan crafts and shops. Wonderful camp-worth the cross country drive to get there.
