ECOS Adventure

A day in the life of an Explorer…..

Join other campers at 9am to begin your adventure. Head to Kings Mountain Pointe in Uhwarrie for some stand up paddle board or kayak instruction – learn how to inflate, add fin(s), safety precautions, and then head out for a short water adventure. Upon returning the group will get a fire started as we prepare for lunch – a warm lunch dessert will be prepared by the campers over an open fire. After lunch we will try our hands at nine holes of disc golf and a leg of the weeklong team adventure race. Last adventure of the day we head to Jumping Off Rock Trailhead and hike in along streams and small waterfalls, hoping to find a water hole big enough to swim in. We will also be teaching the campers different ways of water purification.

Or it could be……

A morning of bouldering and climbing at Pilot Mountain State Park followed up with a lunch near the pinnacle area. During lunch we will do some instruction on one burner cooking where campers will learn about a number of different camping stoves. After lunch it is off to the for some kayak instruction at the Yadkin section of Pilot Mountain – if campers are feeling confident enough we will also do some kayak assisted and unassisted wet entries.

You never know exactly how a day will go at ECOS. The setting, group dynamics, and weather make each day a unique experience.
