Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park

Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park

If new visitors know anything about us, they know Chimney Rock - the epic, ancient bit of granite that stands majestically over some of the most beautiful terrain you'll find. The views it offers across Hickory Nut Gorge are jaw-dropping.

Visitors to the Foxfire Museum in Mountain City, GA, can imaginatively re-create the works and days of southern Appalachia in the 1800s.

John C Campbell Folk School offers creative, learning vacations for adults in a beautiful natural setting. With classes in craft, art, music, dance, cooking, gardening, nature studies, photography and writing.

Medicine Bow Classes - Mark Warren
Medicine Bow Kid's Summer Camp

Medicine Bow Adventure Camp for both boys and girls 10 and older wanting a broader spectrum of activities, survival skills, learning plants and their uses, tomahawk & knife throwing, archery, fire creation, games, hikes …

By request, I have started offering summer camps dedicated just to the skill and adventure of Archery.  Pardon the boast, but there is no archery program like this one. I pour my 25 years of experience into the best instruction I have yet experienced in any other camp or school. But this serious teaching is balanced by games of adventure, quickness, and discretion such as were practiced in Native American communities as well as in Sherwood Forest.
