Mountain Biking Across Upper Pasture
What a day at High Rocks! Six trips were out & we still had all of our regular activities too!! This last week is the culmination of the skills our campers learned in the first few weeks. Lots of trips will leave camp each day this week and in-camp activities will be continuing their skill progressions until the last day of camp. For many campers just being away from home for three weeks is the biggest challenge. For others the biggest challenge might be attaining a goal in an activity. Our ongoing goal is to be sure that High Rocks contributes to the growth of our campers. Fun and adventure are a big part of our program, but we have other goals for our campers that we hope they will carry with them into the future. Taking a few steps towards independance, treating others with respect, developing self-confidence, being a contributing member of a community- these are some of our goals for our campers.
Mail can be slow to arrive in Cedar Mountain. At this late date in the session, I recommend not sending any more letters. Any letters sent after today probably will not arrive until after the session is over. We will continue to deliver letters, emails and faxes until Thursday.
Several camps in the Brevard area will end on Friday, which means full hotels and restaurants on Thursday evening. If you will be in the area on Thursday night, it would be a good idea to have supper reservations unless you plan to eat fast food. Here are some possibilities, most take reservations:
Nicer local restaurants (not chains), all are downtown, except Sora-
Sora – 828-883-9808 (Hank’s Favorite) Japanese / Sushi (near Wal-Mart)
Jordan Street Cafe – 828-883-2558 (Townsend’s Favorite for supper)
Falls Landing – 828-884-2835 (Seafood- we eat there often at lunchtime)
HobNob- 828-966-4662 (Don & Zoob’s favorite)
The Quarry- 828-877-2244
Marco Trattori- 828-883-4841
Square Root- 828-884-6171
Not fancy, but lots of food-
Twin Dragons Chinese Buffet- kids like it, lots of food, lots of variety
Cielito Lindo – Mexican- Fast service, no reservations needed
More restaurants are listed on www.brevardncchamber.org
You should be receiving a letter from your son’s counselor soon. Townsend was proofing them over the weekend & most went in today’s mail.
Wednesday will probably be the last day of pictures. We will all be fairly busy with numerous end-of-session details on Thursday and Friday. Many of you pre-ordered a flash drive of pictures from the session. The USB flash drive is a 4-gigabite drive with high quality versions of the lower-quality pictures we have included on this website. If you did not preorder a flash drive we will have more available for sale on closing day as well.
Take care,
Hank Birdsong
