7th Grade Asheville Trip
Trip Description: We are looking forward to taking our 7th grade students to the mountains of Western NC for a trip full of adventure, challenge activities and exploration in May! Students will have the opportunity to tour the Biltmore, visit Antler Village and then take a short hike at Craggy Gardens on the first day. Students will then enjoy an evening of bowling and dinner before checking in at Blue Ride Assembly. In the morning, they will take on a variety of challenges at Blue Ridge Assembly. They will also visit Grandfather Mountain for a science program, hike and a trip across the famous swinging bridge! They will have lunch at Grandfather Mountain and then head back to Bradford Prep. This trip is a true showcase of the beauty of western North Carolina!
