Chile is an amazing country that offers an incredibly variety of outdoor adventure experiences. The Alzar School will be returning to Chile in December 2010/January 2011. We look forward to showing a new group of students why our alumni of 2007, 2008 & 2010 fell in love with the long, jagged country and its warm culture. This expedition will feature a mix of whitewater kayaking and mountaineering, as well as our custom “10 Elements of Leadership” curriculum.

Revitalized in 2008, the Camp Cup Challenge was back in July 2009 as a two-day event. This event, hosted by the Alzar School and the Dixie Division of the American Canoe Association, brings young paddlers from across Western North Carolina together for a great day of paddling. More than 112 participants had the opportunity to try different events, including the Olympic sport of whitewater slalom. Guest coaches helped everyone improve their paddling.
The Camp Cup Challenge will be back in 2010 as well. Click here to read more about past events and learn about our sponsors. This is a great way for teenage paddlers to join the larger boating community. If you go to summer camp in Western North Carolina, encourage your camp to participate!
