YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly is ready to welcome you to the Mountain to create a special adventure tailored to your interests both on and off the Mountain. Comfortable lodging, breakfast, lunch and several guided activity options are combined with opportunities to explore Western North Carolina attractions and dinner in one of the amazing local Black Mountain restaurants or drive a little farther into Asheville!
What to expect?

- Activity Options – Staff guided Mountain activity options will be available on Saturday morning! Activities may include – climbing, hiking, crafts, etc. The afternoon is up to you! Explore the Mountain at your own pace or visit the surrounding area.
- Evening Fellowship – Consider returning to Blue Ridge after dinner for fellowship rocking on the porch or relaxing next to a firepit.
