About the Trail Camp for Big Kids
The weekend takes place at a group campground inside Nantahala National Forest, deep in the mountains. Trails here can be overgrown, buggy, and wet, with sparse markings, so navigation is part of the experience. Each day has planned group runs, but nobody is pushed toward any particular distance or pace. Mileage is entirely your call.
Parking at the campground is tight, and carpooling is strongly encouraged. Breakfast is provided on some mornings; other meals are on you, so plan accordingly if you have dietary restrictions.
