We plan to hike through some of the most beautiful woods of northern Georgia. On the hike we’ll visit an 855-foot-long wall constructed on the top of the mountain as a Civil War fortification.
Our morning wisdom searches will focus on “The Production of Fruit” in our lives and in the lives of others. Our evening speakers will share life lessons on “The Preservation of Fruit” as well as “How to Finish Life Well.”
We will be staying in self-provided tents at the beautiful Fort Mountain State Park. All food is provided, and all activity fees are included in the camp cost of $195 per father and first son. Additional sons are only $50 each.
