Pioneer Morning:  Go back in time to the 1840's where survival depends on your brain and your hands.  Enjoy  a fun filled morning of Blacksmithing, Cider Making, Candle Dipping and much, much more as we learn the basics of the pioneer lifestyle.  The whole family from the youngest to the oldest can enjoy the morning. 
 
Cherokee Morning:  We lived as pioneers, now let's see what it's like to be a Cherokee!  Learn to survive a simple existance and have great fun learning to make pottery, throw tomahaks many other activities to live closer to the land.  Fun for the whole family, our village helps us understand those peoples who came before, and to take pride and a sense of accomplishment from working for survival.  
Climbing Wall:  Earthshine isn't just about ziplines and high ropes!  Our fun climbing wall is an adventure activity that all can enjoy.  If the harnass fits, your old enough to try!  
Turtle Tracking:  Ever watch nature programs and wish you could use high tech equipment to better your understanding of our world?  Now's your chance!  Join Steve and track down our radio tagged box turtes and help him to gather information that he uses to help our state wildlife department keep track of these amazing and endangered animals.
 
Creek Hike:  Explore the hidden treasures of Crystal Creek...from the middle of it! Put on your water shoes and hike up the middle of one of the prettiest creeks in North Carolina.  Once you reach the headwaters, go mining for gems then slide down our natural rock slide.  
Family Adventure Course:  During the school year Earthshine hosts field trips for groups to work on team building, communication and to have fun!  We figure the same activites will work for families too!  You'll be amazed at the creative solutions you and your family can come up with to our varied challenges.  
Much much more!:  We are always striving to try out new ideas and try new things, so there may be activities that pop up with the season, or that we are trying out on a short-term basis, so if you don't find what you want in the list about, please call and see what else we are doing this week!
