Looking for an adventure for your teen–locally in Pisgah with a local nonprofit this summer? Join us for Mountain Roots Ramblers backpacking camp July 6-10, 2026 in Pisgah National Forest.
This is an opportunity for Nature Connection and inspiration. Campers get to sleep out in the wilderness, star gazing at night and exploring during the day as they travel through Pisgah National Forest with new friends, learning and growing while adding physical and mental health resources to their toolkits.
Our Ramblers Camp provides an opportunity for campers to learn basic backpacking skills–including packing a pack, camp set up, outdoor cooking, a range of backcountry knots, sanitation, Leave No Trace, traveling and navigating in the wilderness, safety and risk management, small group skills including communication and navigating group dynamics.Â
