The boys will take a number of trips to local places in the community. Some trips, like the visit to the flea market or seeing a local theater production, involve the whole camp. Other trips, like visiting the local Mennonite farms, spending the night in Cumberland Caverns, or whitewater rafting, are done as age-appropriate cabin groups.

Country Lad is situated in a large community of Mennonites, a group of people who lead a simple life, similar to the Amish. In fact, a number of the Mennonite women cook at the Camp. The tour, for the younger cabins, includes a hay ride, shopping at the leather store, and sampling some of their delicious bread.

Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee

The older cabins take a day trip to the Ocoee River for some exciting whitewater rafting.

Flea Market

A trip to the local flea market gives the boys a chance to buy a small item. Some cabins will all purchase the same item, like a hat, as a cabin theme. Some boys purchase rabbits or ducks to bring back to camp to raise.

The older cabins take an extended campout to Dale Hollow Reservoir. They use the camp canoes to transport their equipment and supplies out to one of the many islands in the reservoir.
