We are very excited to visit Camp Mikell just east of Toccoa Georgia. Students will soon be visiting the Blue Ridge Outdoor Education Center with their classmates and teachers to learn about the natural world.
The Blue Ridge program is residential and experiential. Through hands-on activities, you can learn about the life in a pond, a mountain stream, and a mixed-hardwood forest. In addition to the natural science classes, we have lessons about the cultural history of the area. Furthermore, the Blue Ridge program is a social experience in which you will be living and learning in a close community. Blue Ridge's site is an ideal outdoor classroom. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the 468-acre property hosts plants and animals from both the Piedmont and Appalachian regions, making for rich biodiversity, including some rare and unusual plants and animals. Wildlife such as deer, turkey, bobcat, hawks, owls, raccoons, heron, beaver and many others can be found on the property along with many species of plants and insects. Although the center is located at Mikell Camp and Conference Center, it is important to note that this is not ‘summer camp’. The emphasis at Blue Ridge is on education, not recreation. Our program is a valuable extension of your classroom work. It may include math, science, language arts, and social studies. Programs are taught by our staff of professional instructors who are college graduates or interns with a desire to share their love of nature with young people. PARENTS: ENROLL in REMIND to get the latest news from camp.
