Car Camping Weekend 10/19-20

/ ascend

Ascend Wilderness Experience is hosting a volunteer trail stewardship car-camping weekend at Big Flat campground in the Coffee Creek area October 19-20. This trip will consist of two days of easy to moderate difficulty day hikes that will also include some log outs and light brushing on nearby trails.

For those new to hiking or trail work, this is a great opportunity to learn from experienced guides and for seasoned hikers, it’s a great way to appreciate and give back to our local trails.  As always, all food, gear, transportation and guidance are provided at no cost. 

Ascend trips are open to all skill levels with gear available to borrow from an extensive gear lending library.

Join Ascend in a fall adventure tending our public trails and enjoying AWEsome company.  To learn more and sign up, visit ascendwilderness.org or call 530-739-1177.

2024 Spring Break Day Camp – Better Than Ever

/ ascend

With such enthusiasm and support from kids, parents, and schools alike, Ascend Wilderness Experience’s Spring Break Day Camp returns again this year for another AWEsome time! We are thrilled to offer a safe place for youth during Spring Break (April 1-5) at East Weaver Campground. The relief this day camp provides to working parents has been a solution for our community even more powerful than we expected. You can fill out an application here or drop by Ascend’s office to pick up a printed copy from the box outside the office door (we’re located next to White Wolf Gym on Forest Ave. in Weaverville).

This year’s Spring Break Day Camp promises to outshine 2023’s since we have a knowledge base from which to launch improvements to last year’s successful program. Spring Break Day Camp is a way for kids to connect with nature, identify with their role in our environment, and learn organically, away from screens for a bit. They are educated about the wilderness in a fun, hands-on way, while having a great time playing and interacting with one another. Stewardship is always the backdrop for an Ascend Wilderness Experience. By building compassion for our surroundings, humans develop respect and appreciation for many things.

As an all-inclusive program, Ascend’s Spring Break Day Camp provides everything a child needs to participate and be well nourished*. Donations are graciously accepted, but not required for enrollment.
