Hiking Day Camp

for ages 8-11 

​

Red Eft is a forest immersion camp, relatively unstructured, but with ample opportunities for kids to:

  • get lots of exercise, including significant physical challenge;

  • cool off in pristine mountain creeks;

  • socialize with their peers;

  • learn to safely and respectfully interact with the mountain landscape;

  • get to know some of the many characters that compose the ecological masterpiece of Southern Appalachian forest that we are privileged to call home.

​

Red Eft typically runs Mon-Thurs from 9-3.

​
