Adventure Outpost Retreats -- Fall '08/Spring '09

Whether a novice or advanced adventurer, repeat Outpost camper or new to Camp Glisson, this weekend journey has something for you.  Beginning with a good night’s rest at the Outpost, campers will travel to Nantahala National Forrest in North Carolina where they will establish camp near the rock face they will climb;  Picken’s Nose is approximately 90 feet tall and offers rewarding challenges to beginner and experienced climbers.  Staff trained by Fox Mountain Guides will facilitate the climbing and rappelling.  Following an exciting day of climbing, campers will help prepare and share a meal.  After dinner, counselors will lead a time of devotion and worship by the campfire.  The next morning the adventure continues after breakfast when the group travels to explore nearby waterfalls and eat lunch.  The trip will conclude with the group’s arrival at camp Sunday afternoon.
