A Cove in the Mountains


The Young Life Camp called Windy Gap is SPECTACULAR! Henry and I made a spur of the moment decision to drive over to visit Eric. It was a good move. We were stunned with the beauty of the mountains at the end of Coles Cove Road north of Weaverville, North Carolina. The camp is first rate in every way. When we arrived Eric took us on a tour of the amazing facilities...but more important was the upbeat, positive attitude with 200 high school campers as they did relay races, the laughter and welcoming,encouraging words from the staff. The pool, water slide, soccer field,mountain bikes,ropes course, zip line, horses and numerous other activities for having summer fun were mind boggoling! And a beautiful, rustic chalet with great kitchen where Eric and other food staff are busy preparing nutricious and low fat meals for campers and lots of other staffers.
What a blessing to sit by a mountain stream and observe the camp in operation!
