"I'm not going to do it. I'll just hike
to the bottom." I began to loosen the figure 8 knot attached to the
front of my harness. The day was warm and balmy, but my hands trembled as I tried to release
myself from the rope binding me to the side of
the cliff. My instructor stood by
silently, his face painted with compas-
sion. In a calm, soft voice, he
beckoned me sit beside him. There was no
mention of rappelling or knots or ropes; no
clinking of metal carabiners. There was, instead, only the touch of a gentle breeze and the sound of his
words: "Courage is not the
absence of fear; it's the ability to
move forward in spite of it.
I believe in you."
Minutes later, I stood on the cliff’s
edge, confidence intact. My instructor was perched several feet in front of me, his words
bounced through my mind as I hesitantly shifted my weight
backward. "Courage. Fear. Courage." My boots inched over the edge and down the rocky wall
as the rope slowly slid through the
fist of my "brake" hand. I moved toward the safety of level ground
60 feet below, beginning to fully trust the system serving as my life-line. I was in complete control. As
my toes touched the ground, relief and pride
overwhelmed me; my first rappel was
complete.
When I was in elementary
school, the action sports
brand “No Fear” came into existence,
and my classmates started coming to school with the “No Fear”
slogan plastered on their clothes. As we rode our bikes around the neighborhood, jumping off curbs
and splashing through mud puddles, my friends and I would
shout, “No fear!” back and forth to each other. Suddenly, living with-out fear was cool. As the sun sank
behind the tall pines on those long summer evenings, I pedaled home with impressive speed, nervous
about getting lost in the impend-ing darkness. Fear was always
there, whether or not we realized
it, and it was keeping us safe.

As I got older, I abandoned the desire to have
no fear and realized that fear is real and inevitable; it is a natural response to
dangerous situations. Instead of hiding from fear, I sought it out and attempted to “know it.” Fear led me to rappel off the edge of a
cliff when I was 15 years old. It directed me toward my first day of college several years
later. It pushed me down a class III river in an open boat. It helped me spark conversations with new friends. It gave me the desire to run
a marathon.
Fear is now a welcomed constant in my life, as it continuously pushes me toward growth and
self-realization. Standing atop the cliff on that mid-July day presented me with two options.
I could untie the knot and walk down to the bottom, choosing to deny myself the opportu-nity to embrace my fear. I would be safe but
overwhelmed by great disappointment and the question of what might have been. Or, I
could tighten my harness and slowly inch my
way over the ledge, acknowledging the fear and
mustering the courage to use it to my advantage. Thankfully, I chose the latter, and I think back on
that moment with great pride.
The idea of stepping off a plane in another country to spend 4 weeks immersed in its culture and
wilderness is daunting. The concept of scaling 13,500 foot peaks is frightening. Hiking a trail deep
in the mountains of North Carolina will pull a person’s comfort zone right out from under them. Simply leaving the familiarity of home and
choosing to participate in a Hante Adventure is scary. But without fear, adventure wouldn’t exist. There would be no opportunity to try things for the
very first time. The friendships and camaraderie born from shared challenge wouldn’t happen. The
words of a patient instructor wouldn’t be heard, and there would be no memory to draw strength from before embarking on subsequent adventures.
Opportunities for significant growth and learning would be missed. As it turns out, the scariest part of
any adventure is choosing not to do it.

Profile of Abigail Poe:
OA Semester 4 Alumni, Camper & Hante Ghana Participant
Interviewed By Susan Conley, Director of Development
A lot of OA alumni want to change the world.
Abigail Poe is one of those who are actually
doing it. Abigail is Director of the Latin America
Rights and Security Program and Deputy Director
of the Center for International Policy (CIP) in
Washington, DC. She tracks U.S. military and
security assistance to countries in Latin America
to make sure that transparency and
accountability are seen as an integral part of U.S.
relations with Latin America. She works to support
human rights and promote social and sustainable
development as a way to improve security in
Latin America.
Abigail
remembers
listening to the
stories of local
residents during
her OA semes-
ter in the spring
of 1997. “We
would go
around on
weekends and
converse with people in and around Brevard,
and I gained a different view of the world.”
Hante Ghana a year later was her first
experience in a developing country and
Influenced the international focus in her studies
and career.
International work requires a lot of travel and
partnerships with local organizations on the grass-
roots level. “Community meeting skills have
transferred into my non-profit work in DC. I am
able to help the team members offer different
skills to reach our goals. Most importantly, I know
how to listen to other people’s points of view.”
Abigail majored in
environmental
studies and policy at
Bates College and
lived in Ecuador for
two years following
graduation. Inspired
by her time in Latin
America, she took an entry level job with CIP
and worked her way up in the organization
while earning her MA in Latin American Studies
from Georgetown University. Abigail says about
her career path, “as an environmental studies
student, I never thought of working on security
issues. It turns out that social opportunities,
health care, education and environmental
concerns are very much linked to sustainable
national security.”
Abigail’s adventures are far from over. CIP is
expanding its project on military assistance into
a worldwide presence, including oversight of
U.S. aid to Central Asia, the Middle East, and
Africa.
When asked what she would tell a student
considering attending OA, Abigail says, “GO!
If you think you might possibly enjoy it, you will.”
Two other members of her semester live in DC,
and they get together frequently. “Life unfolds in
wonderful ways. I had no idea it would turn out
this way for me!”
“Being at OA,
Camp and on Hante
encouraged me to
look at the world
through different
people’s eyes.”

Many Hands Make a Big Difference
By Susan Conley, Director of Development Home By Daisy Gould, Camper
I rise so early
The sun hasn’t yet reached the sky
I eat
An untastable
Hotel breakfast
We leave
Two hours
Before the gates
Are supposed to open
Because I want to be first
To drive up that hill
The ride
Is in silence
I am staring at the trees
That lightly hug each other
I am so happy
I want to kiss everything in sight
The cool summer air
Tickles my nose
That has been intoxicated by city
For a year
Soon
The road is filled
With friends reuniting
The mountains are echoing
Our laughter
And our joy
At last
The gate swings open
We are first
We roll
Up
And see the counselors
Waving
I want to shout
Because I am back
From a one year vacation
I am back at the place I love

You Made This Happen.
A 15 year-old takes a breath of cold, fresh,
mountain air, awake to his own health and strength.
A camper pauses on her creek hike to share a still
moment with a small frog. Her commitment to the
wholeness of the Earth becomes personal.
A parent embraces her daughter as she tells her
that the scholarship is enough and her dream of
attending The Outdoor Academy will come true
next fall. The daughter anticipates a community
unlike any other that is eager for her company.
The harmony of a campfire song joins the cabin-
mates in a fellowship that will span their entire lives.
Last year, Eagle’s Nest’s supporters accomplished
much more than numbers or statistics can
communicate. We celebrate with gratitude the 733
families who enabled our most exceptional Annual
Fund outcome ever. Their donations, given with
love and totaling $281,549, provided 110 campers
and Hante participants and 21 OA students with
scholarships last year and is already bringing happy
news to this year’s fortunate young people.
Our beautiful campus will be tended with care, and
the staff and faculty who sustain our community will
be honored for their skilled endeavors.
The excitement of last year’s outcome leads our
community into new opportunities to strengthen the
Nest through continued support. The air, frogs,
dreams, and campfires of Pisgah Forest are ready
to welcome many future generations of campers
and students to the place that we call our
mountain home.

Finding Cabin Library in North Central Tanzania By Cecilia Kucera, Camper, Hante Participant, and Outdoor Academy Alumni
I spent the last semester
studying wildlife conser-
vation and political
ecology in Tanzania. This
incredible journey sent
me all over the northern
part of the country, from
the city of Arusha, pop.
1 million, to pristine
mountain forests, to the
remote savanna. While
my friends back at Wake
Forest were astounded by my stories of camping in the bush for
over a month, I knew that camping would not be the challenging
factor of this excursion. Years of Camp, Hante, and OA made the
idea of living in the bush seem like a dream. Instead, when I was
stepping on to the plane, the thought that almost made me make
an immediate exit was the two different home stays halfway
through the semester. The first, a three week endeavor, was to be
with a family in the “suburbs” of Arusha. The second was a three
night stay with the Maasai ethnic group. This home stay used to be
a full week, but so many students would panic by the fourth day
that it was shortened to only three nights. In our first home stay, we
were at least comforted by the fact that the parents would speak
Kiswahili (which we studied) and the children who attended
secondary school likely knew some English. However, the Maasai
only speak Kimaasai, with a handful of the children able to speak
Kiswahili. This meant communication would be close to a big fat
zero. The first month breezed by, and before we knew it, we were
dropped off with our first family. My parents had a nice concrete
house, and though we did not have running water, we had a
television that worked when my Baba threw a wire hook over the
power line running down the dirt road. The 3 weeks were over in a
blur, and I found myself a part of an incredibly caring family.
So, home stay one: success. On to number two...When I arrived
with my new Mama to our mud and stick boma, the thirty plus
children came running like moths to the light of my strange, blonde
hair. As I sat, having my hair braided by a million little fingers,
listening to the chatter of indistinguishable languages, I suddenly
felt myself relax. I realized this was just a slight variation of my
comfort zone: Cabin Library.
I spent nine summers in the
youngest girl’s cabin at camp,
and in this moment,
surrounded by children, I felt
my confidence come back.
Thanks to Eagle’s Nest, I knew
how to connect with this age,
no matter the language or
location. Over the next 4 days,
I sang songs to them (they
particularly loved Rocky Top),
and they taught me to count
in Kimaasai. We spent the hot
afternoons beading under the
acacia trees and playing in
the river. I had found my
Cabin Library, and I could not
have been happier. Although
relieved to get back to base
camp and speak some
English, I was incredibly
grateful for those children and
for Eagle’s Nest, helping me
find that balance between
comfort zones and challenges
half-way around the world.

My Travel Story, a submission from English Class By Lena Friedman, Outdoor Academy Student, Semester 36
I break my
glasses far more often than I
should, I think. The first time I heard about
Eagle’s Nest Camp they
were, thankfully, intact, but if memory serves
me correctly, one of the nose pads snapped off about two weeks later. I, or rather my parents, found out
about camp through a fair designed specifically for parents looking for a place to
ship their kids in the long hot days of summer. At the time, I was nine and my younger sister seven, so for our first year at camp we went for
only two weeks and were in the youngest cabin together. The next year we went for
three weeks, and I (with the great maturity that comes with double digits) moved up to the
next oldest cabin. Miraculously, my glasses had
made it through that first year whole, intact, and (relatively) undamaged. But this was a new year at
camp, and anything was possible. Especially since this was the year I first heard about The Outdoor Academy.
It was also the year my silver glasses met their unfortunate demise. Even at the time, I wasn’t completely certain what happened, but it was
generally along these lines: I tripped over a shoe someone had left on the floor, the glasses I had
been holding flew out of my hand, and because of the way they landed and bent, I couldn’t really wear them anymore. Luckily my eyes weren’t too
bad at that point, but I had to go through the next two weeks of camp without them. Actually, that
may have been why I noticed the poster in the first place: when everything far away is blurry, you tend to focus on the closer things when brushing your
teeth…...

THE THE
“On belay, Kevin!”
“ Belay on, Avery!”
“Climbing, Kevin!”
“Climb on, Avery!”
These strange phrases, familiar
as “good morning” to climbers
the world over, echoed through
the morning fog. Avery shifted
her weight delicately from side
to side, weaving her way up the
cliff. Kevin watched her atten-
tively, taking slack out of the
rope, calling encouragements
as she ascended. “That’s Pilot
Mountain!” she called out. “We
went there on Orientation Trek!
OK, Kevin, ready to lower.”
As Avery stood once more on
level ground, she thanked Kevin
for the belay. Tonight she would
have another story to tell
around the fire. As I reflect on
another wildly successful
climbing weekend, I turn again
to a question I’ve been trying to
answer before I knew it was a
question: Why do we climb?
Why do I have an insatiable
desire to stand on top of really
tall objects? Why do I believe
that climbing can be an integral
part of a young person’s educa-
tion? The answer may be, in its
simplest form, that climbing is
hard. We push our bodies to the
limit so that they scream to our
brains, “What are you doing?
Get me down!” and then face
the mental strain of trusting our
life-protecting companion at
the other end of the rope.
Climbing is challenging, and
persevering through challenges
makes us stronger. In turn,
I argue something greater:
climbing imbues people with
moral strength. It is common-
place to purport that a student
is “developing strong communi-
cation skills.” It is radical that
these skills are the very things
keeping them safe. The serious-
ness of the activity deepens the
curriculum.
There is, finally, something
inherently philosophical about
climbing. Even in the age of
Google Maps, height gives
ascensionists new perspectives,
visually on the topography of
the forest and conceptually on
the size and complexity of the
landscape. Our OA students
were able to see the slopes of
Pilot Mountain and Black
Balsam Knob after having
struggled to hike up the steep-
ness of those slopes a month
before. Even after hundreds of
climbs I am as overwhelmed by
the view from the top as
students are on their first
ascent. I attribute it to the
Why Do We Climb? By Felix Dowsley, Head Resident, The Outdoor Academy
“Even after hundreds of
climbs I am as
overwhelmed by the view
at the top as students are
on their first ascent.”
opening of vision and to
understanding that we must
always descend again to the
narrow trails home. Philosophy
is the love of wisdom, not the
presumption that wisdom can
be owned; the fleetingness of a
climber’s vision and the love of
that pursuit always seem to jus-
tify the long hikes, heavy packs,
aching feet, and blistered
hands. So, I may say that we
seek the top to seek ourselves,
to find out what stuff we’re
made of, and to stake out for a
moment our own little alcove in
the cathedral of this world.
OA student pushing to the top!
Felix, enjoying the view.

According to the
Eagle’s Nest by-laws,
the Foundation “shall
be managed by a
Board of Trustees.”
This is an independent
group of individuals
that have a strong and
dedicated connection
to Eagle’s Nest and OA
but don’t work for the Foundation as employees.
We bring in outside expertise from our own lives
and professions to help ENF make big decisions
that go beyond the scope of day-to-day issues.
The Board of Trustees (BOT) is divided up into
nine committees based on subject matter.
For example, the OA Committee might discuss
recruiting efforts for new OA applicants in a
given region of the country. The Camp Commit-
tee might discuss a change in enrollment size or
schedule. The Long Range Planning Committee
evaluates how best to use campus property to
further program goals (new tennis court and
garden shed, anyone?), the Finance Committee
helps ensure our finances are in order, and the
Development Committee oversees our nation-
wide fundraising strategy. Once each commit-
tee has hashed out its issues, it recommends a
decision to the full Board at one of our three
annual meetings.
There are currently 22 members of the BOT.
On our current board, we have educators,
business leaders, development professionals,
marketing gurus, doctors, and environmental
land use advisors, and each of us helps guide
the Nest through the issues we know best. For
example, I use my experience as a lawyer to
help advise the Foundation on legal issues.
The Trustees come from all over the country;
we’ve had Trustees from as nearby as Pisgah
Forest and as far away as London! I currently live
in Brooklyn, New York, and it’s always a treat to
return to the Nest three times a year to
re-connect with a place that has been so
important to me for most of my life. Despite
coming from different regions and professions,
one thing that all Trustees have in common is a
deep and committed connection to Eagle’s
Nest. The Trustees are former campers, OA
students, OA and Camp parents, and even
former Executive Directors.
I first arrived at Eagle’s Nest in Cabin 7 and
worked as a Camp and Birch Tree staff member
after years as a camper, Hante student and
Junior Counselor. For me, being a Trustee is the
next leg on my Eagle’s Nest journey – another trip
around the Medicine Wheel, if you will. It presents
a unique way to give back to a place and a
community that has given me so much and help
ensure that the Nest will continue to give others
just as much for years to come.
The Board is always looking for ways to increase
the depth and breadth of Trustee experience,
especially by bringing in younger members with
more recent connections as a camper, student,
faculty, or staff member. It is by no means the
only way to give back to the Nest: for every
Trustee on the Board, there are many others who
pledge their time to fundraising, volunteer as
representatives to host Camp or OA parties in
their home towns, or simply make a donation to
the Foundation. While it is the daily inhabitants of
Eagle’s Nest – its staff, faculty and students – that
create the year-round patchwork of intellect,
environment, community, and craft amid
campfires, whistling Southern Appalachian winds
and bullfrog choruses, we can all continue to
play a role in its construction.
What Is It Like To Be An Eagle’s Nest Trustee?

Into the Future By Noni Waite-Kucera, Executive Director
With our 85th Anniversary just past, we are
gathering our energy to look toward Eagle’s
Nest over the next 15 years and the possibilities
that could unfold for our 100th Anniversary.
Over the course of the coming year the Board
of Trustees and ENF Administration will conduct
a long range planning study and visioning
process. This process will include gathering the
voices of our constituents, looking at trends in
education, in
camping, the
economy, best
environmental
practices and
much more.
There is much
planning yet to
do to get this
study up and
running but
already there is
a great deal of
excitement and
dreaming of all
that could
transpire in the
next 15 years.
Looking more short term, we have many
projects clearly slated for 2013. On site we have
several renovations underway, the most
significant being a new wastewater treatment
plant for our facility. Kyle Young, our Property
Manager, has been hard at work overseeing
this installation and ensuring we’ll be ready to
open camp for our incoming counselors in late
May. Our Garden to Table program is
continuing to grow! With the help of funds via
the US Fish and Wildlife Conservation Fund and
the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy we
will be planting a pollinator garden to attract
beneficial insects and birds adjacent to the
food garden. We anticipate that we will be able
to surpass all previous years with the amount of
food we are able to grow for ourselves. As much
as you may think Eagle’s Nest is not very involved
in the world of technology, we actually have two
major initiatives underway. Last year at this time
we began a complete overhaul of our data
management system which will “go live” this
spring. We are all very excited to step out of
technology of the
1990’s and “into
the cloud.”
Also underway is a
total remake of
our website. Be on
the lookout for the
new version in
September.
We have an
ambitious Annual
Fund goal for 2013
as we strive to
match scholarship
needs with dollars
raised. In 2012 we
were able to assist
110 campers and
21 students with donor funded aid totaling
$281,549. We know we will need at least this much
again this year. The Annual Fund also supports
professional development, capital improvements,
and program enhancements: all critical
components of our operations. Many thanks go
out to those who contributed in 2012 and we
hope each of you will consider Eagle’s Nest in
your giving priorities in 2013.
Eagle’s Nest is constantly abuzz with activity and
this year will be no exception. If you are interested
in being involved as a volunteer on a committee
or as a board member please be in touch.
We love for people to become involved!
