We’ll be producing a new print brochure in the Fall, but for now we have this revised online PDF brochure at www.mondamin.com/brochure
If you know of a family who might be interested in Mondamin & Green Cove, consider sharing this with them!
Freedom of choice and a non-competitive philosophy with extensive wilderness tripping and more! Founded in 1922, Mondamin is a unique summer camp for boys, ages 6 to 16, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. www.mondamin.com
I grew up at Camp Mondamin paddling the rivers, hiking and riding the trails, and climbing the peaks of Western North Carolina. In the wilderness and on Lake Summit, my counselors encouraged me to explore the world, but more importantly, myself. As I later pursued graduate school in history and a career in teaching, camp continued to be my homebase. I have spent many summers on the paddling staffs of both Mondamin and Green Cove, headed paddling, and served as a line head and assistant director at Mondamin. Adventures took me around the world; for 25 years, I have taught youth and adults at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NC), Friends Seminary (NYC), National Taiwan University, and Kang Chiao International School (Taiwan).
My wonderful wife Yijun, a Waldorf-trained teacher and counselor herself at Green Cove for several years, has inspired and encouraged me to continue to grow as an educator. Our daughter Emery will be at Green Cove this summer for her second year, and our son Benjamin plans to be back at Mondamin in 2024. Gordon Grant, one of my mentors in education, and I are working together this year to lead Mondamin into its next, great chapter. We sincerely hope you will join us on the journey!
