Set out on an unforgettable adventure through the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina—where every day brings a new thrill. This action-packed journey is designed for teenage explorers ready to push their limits and experience the outdoors like never before.

The trip begins in North Carolina’s Piedmont region, where participants build teamwork and confidence through hiking, rock climbing, and group challenges. From there, the adventure kicks into high gear at the headwaters of the New River, where you’ll paddle through exciting Class II rapids—perfect for developing whitewater skills in a stunning natural setting.

The final phase takes things even further: venture underground to explore a wild cave in Tennessee, then head to West Virginia for an unforgettable rafting experience on the Lower New River. Along the way, keep an eye out for incredible wildlife, including bald eagles soaring overhead and playful river otters along the banks.
