BLACKBERRY PICKING (Season: June-August)

Mid to late June begins Blackberry season in Western North Carolina. You can find them in abundance at the Farmers Markets, or you can make a day of it with the family, and pick yourself a pint or gallon or two at one of the many u-pick farms in our area.

Located on top of Sugarloaf Mountain, the view from their fields are for miles, “and the constant mountain breeze refreshes and replenishes the soul and you enjoy the berries from our thorn less 3 bite berries. Just a note – we are a simple working farm where we love to open up for our wonderful local neighbors to experience a “real” farm in daily operation. I, the old farmer, made a decision a number of years ago to “keep life simple.” Therefore we are a “cash or check” farm.

Competitive Summer Programming. We are excited to announce our Competitive Summer Camp lineup. Elite residential camps designed to serve our HFC Competitive (Classic) level players are extremely expensive, often costing as much for one week as an entire season of classic soccer, making them inaccessible for many of our families. High level local camps are few and far between and one of the biggest challenges is finding a camp where both the level of coaching AND the level of players participating in camp will provide the right level of challenge for our players.

Ages 6-14yrs

July 9th-13th & 23rd-27th … Run Wild Day Camp (6-12yrs) … This is our introductory camp, filled with more fun, adventure, and learning about the natural world than you thought was possible in a week.  Your children will come home each afternoon both beaming and tired from the days journey of discovery.

June 25th-29th … Hearth-Fire (10-14yrs) … Join us around the central fire as we honor this ancient tradition by engaging with the fire directly—using it as a tool to create beautiful crafts, cook tasty foods, and revel in the simple joys of singing and telling stories around the fire.

July 2nd-6th … Forest Ninja (8-12yrs) … Move quietly across the landscape without being seen or perceived. Observe without being observed. Quiet the mind so you may hear clearly.  Sharpen your skills and maintain your safety and the safety of those around you. Read clearly the signs of the forest and respond naturally.

July 30th-Aug 3rd … Fundamental Four: Survival Skills Camp (10-14yrs) …  Shelter, Water, Fire, Food – Campers will explore these specific skills as they pertain to both survival and general woodland proficiency. We will create a warm, dry group shelter using materials gathered from the forest.  We will discuss and practice methods of finding and purifying water(it’s not an emergency so we’ll stick to drinking what we know is safe).  We’ll work with a variety of fire starting materials and tools, both primitive and modern, as well as fire safety and maintenance.  We will explore the possibilities of wild foods and what we might do to secure food in the wilderness.

We are a NC licensed Family Child Care Home that focuses on preschool & school aged care. Every week during the summer, we pick a local destination to learn about. We read, discuss, look at pictures, and write about the destination. Then on Friday’s we head out on a “Destination Trip”. Previous destination trips have been Lake Tomahawk, Chimney Rock, Biltmore House, Lake Lure, DuPont Forest, Andrews Geyser, just to name a few. These trips are made developmentally appropriate for everyone. Along with focus on our destination of the week, we also throw in a ton of FUN. There will be weekly movies at Biltmore Grande, swimming at Owen Pool, arts, crafts, games and gardening. We also, as a group, pick volunteer work that benefits the local community. We learn about the importance of kindness, we learn about recycling & reusing, we practice manners; we practice safety, we LEARN, all while having fun. Every child is served a healthy, nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack.
