The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center

The Mountain was founded by Unitarian Universalists in 1979 as a nonprofit camp and conference center. This is an ecologically conscious retreat and learning center serving congregations, businesses, schools, and other  Unitarian Universalist and community groups.

Located on 4,200 foot high granite cliffs on the Eastern Continental Divide in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we offer a very unique opportunity – come refresh your spirit in the natural beauty of a mountaintop.

New call-to-action

The Mountain places a strong emphasis on being an inclusive, non-competitive environment where youth can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and form lifelong friendships. Campers learn to advance their communication skills and resolve conflicts—skills they will use the rest of their lives.

Mountain camps are designed to build our leaders of tomorrow. Our Counselor in Training program has consistently given young adults the skills and confidence to excel in college, as well as their work and home environments.

Camping sessions are offered for 1st-12th graders from June to July. Some of the exciting activities and workshops campers experience while at Mountain Camp include: arts and crafts, drama, music, campfires, outdoor survival skills, international field games, low and high challenge courses, whitewater rafting, swimming, canoeing and hiking. We hope to see you here!
