Morrow Mountain Fall Campout
Morrow Mountain Campout, September 25-27, 2026
Our Spring Cane Creek camping trip was fantastic, and we loved reconnecting with familiar faces while meeting new families! We are excited to invite you to our Fall Family Camping trip at Morrow Mountain State Park from September 25–27.
We are already looking forward to the cool, crisp air, the beautiful autumn leaves changing colors, and cozy nights sharing s’mores around the campfire.
TRIP DETAILS:
• Location: Located in Stanly County 50 miles northeast of Charlotte, Morrow Mountain State Park provides a myriad of adventures from the summit of the namesake mountain, along the banks of the Yadkin River State Trail, and to the shores of Lake Tillery.
• Geology & History: The mountain is a study in geologic wonder — with Native American artifacts made of rhyodacite to argillite mined by the Civilian Conservation Corps to create many of the park’s structures.
• Accommodations: Choose from tent sites, RV sites, or cabins.
• Activities: Enjoy hiking, scenic overlooks, boating, fishing, and the local history museum.
• Community: We currently have 5 families and 20 kids signed up, and we would love for you to join us!
Feel free to invite your friends—all are welcome (this is not a Faithful Scholars’ event, simply a wonderful gathering put together by an amazing homeschooling mama!)

Hagood Mill Summer Campout
Hagood Mill Campout, June TBD, 2027
Our summer campout coincides with unique hands on Hagood Mill summer immersion youth camp where they teach the beautiful arts of the Upstate and immerse into SC history, nature, and culture. We have enjoyed this camp so much that my daughter volunteers as an assistant as often as she is able and I hang out by the cool babbling brook.
This is primitive camping with an amazing bath house and world-class disc golf course and nearby hiking.
This is not an official Faithful Scholars’ nor homeschool specific event. All are welcome!
Reserve your space directly with Hagood Mill offices. Contact or call 864-898-2936
What They’re Saying
General Thank you so much for your time! I haven’t filled out the membership yet—I’ve just been reaching out to associations, gathering information, and reading about SC homeschooling requirements and recommendations online : ) South Carolina is set up differently for homeschooling than the previous states we’ve lived in. I feel like your association provides great support for homeschoolers, especially for high school- and, you answered in person and followed up with a knowledge and wisdom-filled workshop! Thank you!
Thank you in advance for the high school workshop and the help you provided! Navigating these high school years, no navigating transcripts, is so difficult but you made it simple!
All presenters worked hard to make Mamas feel like what they were doing was what was best. I really appreciated that. I also really appreciated that there was an allowed day option. The food was great and the one-on-one sessions were greatly appreciated as well. It was nice to feel like what each family was doing was good as long as it was best for their family.
Thank you Katie! I’m glad I was there, I learned so much. I went home and apologized to my child. We can do better.
It was so fun to meet you this weekend. Your spirit of enjoyment of life exudes, and your eagerness to create a better future path for home school families is beautiful. It was amazing to share time with you this past weekend. We have made changes and are already seeing positive rewards.
The FS retreat encouraged me as a homeschooling momma, but on a deeper level developed lasting lifelong friendships that I treasure to this day. Homeschooling can be hard and daunting, but having friends in your corner who know you and love, and your children, gives you strength to press on. Attending the retreat will help you find your people and nourish your soul.
