Join us for Blue Mountain School's special RESCHEDULED evening event!
Our 3rd annual Guided Night Hike will lift the veil of darkness and blend the spirit of adventure with the joy of learning. This year we've added dinner!
Join the fun at 7:00 for a chili supper (vegetarian available!) along with guided games and family activities before we step into the wild side with Field Biologist Eric Wolf and Blue Mountain School's experienced teachers.
After the children have gone home for the day, Blue Mountain School's woodland neighbors come out to play! Bats, owls, salamanders, cicadas, tree frogs, nightjars, and raccoons are just a few of the nocturnal neighbors that may make an appearance on the campus after the sun sets.
Come visit Blue Mountain School’s campus and experience the heart and soul of outdoor learning in the New River Valley, where outdoor experiences shape the daily lives of students. Take a few moments to learn about how the experience of learning in nature applies to Blue Mountain’s contemplative holistic education model.
Bring along your water bottle, close-toed shoes, and a headlamp, along with your deer ears, owl eyes, and a spirit of wonder! We'll begin our evening a little earlier this year with a chili supper and children's activities. At dusk we'll meet next to the Native Plant Garden for an introduction from our hike leader, Eric Wolf.
Eric has been a professional wildlife biologist for over 30 years, with project work spanning from Central and South America to across much of the United States. However, he is particularly proud to have lived, worked, and studied in the southern Appalachians for most of his life, developing intimate personal and professional connections with its biotic communities and cultural heritage.
