Foxfire is situated on roughly 110 acres, with an interpretive trail connecting to

Black Rock Mountain State Park, which includes three mountain springs with waterfalls.

Visitors can explore these features and learn about mountain ecology and local habitats.

On these hikes, one might see several species of birds, find salamanders in their cool homes, or observe beautiful native wildflowers and other interesting plants and fungi.

Foxfire is also an Appalachian Village made up of over 20 historic log structures,

each home to various artifacts representative of life in the mountains including a

toy museum, blacksmith shop, weaving and broom making studios,

Cherokee wagon display, and wood stove cooking cabins.

Encourage your child to unplug this summer and engage in hands-on activities;

it’s sure to be a learning experience they’ll never forget!

Lessons are a mix of hands-on activities, gentle walks, and demonstrations

and build confidence when learning new skills.

naturalists, wildcrafters, and makers!

will be available each day.

Please contact us to inquire! In the past, we have accepted campers who are
slightly younger or older than the suggested ages.
We can also offer apprenticeships for ages 12 or older. Let's talk!

What is your cancellation policy?
We are a small family business that relies on tuition payments for our programs.

Therefore, refunds are not available for cancellation.

Refund requests for extenuating circumstances will be assessed by the Program Director

on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to a $50 processing fee

if cancellation occurs within 30 days of the start of camp.

Requests must be submitted via email to wildcraftkitchenga@gmail.com

Wildcraft Kitchen does reserve the right to cancel any camp that does not meet minimum enrollment requirements (six campers) or for other unforseen circumstances.
We will do our best to notify families at least one week prior to the start of camp.
Any payments made towards a camp that Wildcraft Kitchen cancels,
will be eligible for a refund or can be applied to another program.

What do I do if I want to sign my camper up but camp is already full?!
Sometimes spaces open up! We may also add more camp dates based on demand.
