Fern Way Farm School- Church Camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains
June 3, 2021
Great news!
Christmount has received a substantial gift to help underwrite most of the costs for the Fern Way Farm School Summer Camping Programs this summer! This means we are able to offer significant scholarships – even up to 100% of the cost of camp this year!
Space is limited this year due to covid restrictions (state, county & CDC guidelines will be followed), so spots will fill up quickly! Please help us spread the word to anyone who might be interested and / or would benefit from an experience at Fern Way Farm School Summer Camps in the mountains of western NC.
Here are the camps – dates & descriptions – held at Christmount this summer:
