Experience Foothills Forest School through Explorers Camp

We are excited to announce Spring & Summer 2026 Explorers Camp!

Each week our Explorers camp brings a brand-new adventure! Nestled in the heart of the Chilhowee mountains, our camp invites children to explore winding forest trails, splash through cool mountain creeks, and discover the magic of our serene lake.


With a fresh theme every week—ranging from wilderness survival and forest art to creek critter hunts and lake science—campers will dive into hands-on learning while connecting deeply with the natural world. Whether hiking beneath towering pines, building shelters from sticks and leaves, or simply watching dragonflies skim the water, every day is filled with wonder, discovery, and fun.


Let the mountains be their playground!
