The weekend outings are designed with out of town people in mind. It is a package deal to help you experience North Carolina nature as much as possible. Two nights are a motel stay. I am in the process of working a deal for discounts for people who stay over for a Happy Naked Frog Escape. Below is the agenda, check it out!
(Of course the weekend outings are available for local residents as well. No motel needed!)

Friday:
You arrive in North Carolina and we meet you to head to Lake Norman State Park where we have campsites reserved. We set up camp for you, including a tent and we all go on a three mile walk on the Lakeshore Trail. This will feel great after a long car ride. We get back to camp and you can relax or run to the bathhouse to get a shower while we cook supper. After supper, we clean up and then join you at the campfire to talk and visit. We each hit the sack when we get ready to.
Saturday morning:
We get you up around five a.m. (yeah I know, but it's worth it when you get out there...), eat some simple breakfast and head to the lake at six when the State Park quiet time is over. We splash down in the lake in the kayak/canoe with drinks, sunscreen and snacks. We spend the day paddling, swimming, exploring and taking photos of us and nature. (Check out the kayaking/canoe page.) Along about two we head in so that we can break down camp and head to Statesville. We try to get seven to eight hours lake time.
Saturday evening:
We escort you to the motel on our way to the house so we can all regroup for the next day. We will have to unload and take care of the gear from camping. You can get a hot shower, and grab a bite to eat. Later, you won't have any problems getting a great nights sleep because you will be tired, happy and relaxed.
Sunday morning:
We pick you up at the motel around six a.m. stop in Morganton at Bojangles for a biscuit to go and head for the mountains and the hike of your choice. I strongly suggest a summit hike and then a waterfall hike to experience our mountains fully. This is a full day and we will get in anywhere from six to eight Sunday evening. Then we drop you off at the motel with a hug and a handshake to rest up for the drive home Monday morning. You get back home tired with a big smile, lots of great photos and memories!

We have decided that all outings will be a part of the Happy Naked Frog Ministry and will be by donation only. Fellowship in nature is healing emotionally and spiritually. It doesn't seem right to set a fee for helping others in a search for peace. This opens the opportunity to those who may be limited financially. It also gives us the chance to trust completely in God to meet our needs as we try to do what we feel we have been called to do.
We hope this will encourage those who are searching for answers to join us in God's Chapel for fellowship, meaningful conversation and support.
"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God has made they can clearly see his invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature." - Romans 1:20
