Elon Students Camp Out at Mountain Mission Farms

What started out as a rainy miserable visit, turned into a sunny, exciting adventure.  Students from Elon University came to MMF for three days of service learning.

Ecologically related classes were held three times a day and then we went to work.  Because of the wet weather we spent the first day indoors painting.

Camping out was done in the model Eco-home the first night and then the next night it was off to the campfire and tents.

Walking environmental tours gave everyone a chance to see the beauty of nature and variety of life at the farm.

Our last morning was pretty exciting when we hooked up two solar panels and tested them.  It was a little too late for taking a shower that day.   

 

This program was the first of its kind for us at MMF.  Elon University sponsored the event as part of an ecological week long tour.

  Working together to make a
difference in this world!
