One month ago, our Watauga Rolling Academy set out for their 14-day leadership journey... and what a journey it was! This year, they traveled towards the northeast and kicked off their adventures by spending 5 days backpacking in Shenandoah National Park. Once they were out of the woods, the students continued their journey north to Pennsylvania where they spent time in an Amish community, learning about their culture and philosophies on life before experiencing a huge contrast in lifestyle by visiting the City That Never Sleeps... NYC! The group also spent time volunteering at WNY Food Bank and Iroquois Wildlife Refuge in Buffalo before traveling to the breathtaking Niagara Falls where they learned about the history of the area and rode on the popular Maid of the Mist tour boat. After a whirlwind program, the students returned home more confident in their leadership, proud of what they had accomplished, and with strong bonds of friendship.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a month since our first EVER Avery County Rolling Academy program returned to the High Country. This small but mighty crew spent 3 days kayaking on Lake Eerie and camping at Kelleys Island State Park before heading to Detroit to learn about the city and complete several service projects at a state park, an outdoor street art project, an urban farm, and a soup kitchen. This 10-day journey found the students challenging themselves physically and mentally, working on their leadership skills, and learning about themselves as well as other communities and cultures. They became a tight knit group and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our newest Avery County tradition 🌅⛺️🌆 #AveryRollingAcademy #firsttrip #leaders
This awesome crew of students spent their Saturday morning moving items upstairs for the Holy Cross Church Rummage Sale (you should check it out later this week)! They earned Mountain Alliance a generous donation by moving everything from piles of books to giant Christmas wreaths and we’re very grateful for their hard work 💪
