Educate Outdoors

In addition to flexible facility rentals and onsite dining options, we offer programs that develop group dynamics, teamwork, and cooperation. Our Challenge Course and Camp Fire Circle are renowned by generations of visitors for the inspiration and community they have built over the years. We'll work with you to provide a program designed to meet your goals, or simply provide a fun, recreational venue for children, adults or all ages.

Inspire Leaders

Whether it’s at a camp, on our ropes course, or hiking through the Blue Ridge, generations of leaders have started or reinspired their journey here at the Center. We’re excited to share the Center’s tranquil and historic setting with corporate, school, religious, equine, and many other groups.
