We are midweek through the Challenger Camp 2024. We started off with a fun meet and greet Sunday evening. Bonds began to be built immediately. During the first night we had torrential rains but that didn’t dampen spirits. So far, the rest of the weather has been warm and blue sky.

The next two days the group hiked 23 miles to an elevation of over 6,500 feet. The views of the Smoky Mountains were spectacular! Wednesday, we experienced white-water rafting on the Pigeon River. Our evening discussions each night have been enriching and extremely successful. Thanks to our incredible cooking staff, we have been eating extremely well! Everyone is charged for the rest of the week.
