Overnight Caving Part 2!

 Mountain Alliance members spend an exciting weekend full of surprise and adventure on an incredible caving trip into the unknown! The members prepared for a beautiful weekend packed with the unexpected and lots of fun in the underground world. Such a suspenseful caving trip is just what the students needed to build memories.

 Our members were exposed to unique and strange phenomena including a night sleeping in the can and a once and a lifetime sunrise at the cave!

 Only Mountain Alliance members come together to embark on awesome journeys like these!

After a long weekend full of great sight seeing and exploring the underground world, Mountain Alliance members take a moment for a group shot before they head home full of great memories and a new mud-filled wardrobe, sure to please every parent at home!

F.A.R.M Cafe: February 16, 2012

 Mountain Alliance members join together with a new coming restaurant in our town of Boone called the F.A.R.M Cafe to help out cleaning for their grand opening in April.

Their name stands for Feed All Regardless of Means!

 F.A.R.M. Cafe is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a healthy, inclusive community by providing high quality, delicious meals produced from local sources served in a restaurant where everybody eats regardless of means.

At F.A.R.M. Cafe, customers will pay what they can. Those who can pay more than the daily suggested price will be encouraged to do so, so that others who cannot afford a meal can simply eat. Those who cannot pay are asked to volunteer at the restaurant for an hour in exchange for a meal. F.A.R.M. Cafe can assist those in need because it operates almost exclusively with volunteers.

Mountain Alliance and F.A.R.M Cafe hopes you will take the time to come check out this great restaurant and the new experience that they hope other towns will adopt!

App Skiing and Snowboarding trip: February 10, 2012

 

 Mountain Alliance members all came together to enjoy a great evening and shredded the slopes! The sport where pure fun and the challenge of learning something new have never been more exciting!

The competition began early to see who had the most skills!!

  The question was, what is better... Skiing or Snowboarding??

The ruling was BOTH are amazing when you can shred the slopes in the Appalachian Mountain's with friends!!

Worley's Ladies Caving Trip: February 4, 2012

 Mountain Alliance ladies embarked on the mysterious journey to Worley's pristine seldom seen underground cave.

 With no paved paths or lit walkways the girls faced the unknown!

 Mountain Alliance staff debating on who would be the bravest and go farthest in the cave!

Wearing headlights for their only source of light, and definitely getting muddy, the ladies show the men how it is done!! What an awesome experience to brag about for years to come!!!

Hospitality House February 13, 2012

Mountain Alliance members challenged themselves in joining up with the community and had the great opportunity to provide food and compassion to our local homeless shelter. What a great experience to serve the community and increase their appreciation for such a great town that supports each and every individual.

 We are so proud of our members for embracing each opportunity to help out in the community with open hearts to serve those who need it the most and the donation to create a wonderful meal!

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more”

The latest Craft Craze: Monday January 23, 2012

 

What do you do when it's blistery cold outside?  Tie-dying is no longer a thing of the past!!!  Mountain Alliance members spent the evening staying warm and digging deep to find their creative sides by bringing their old box of crafts and relaxing with Mountain Alliance's Staff.

Nothing better than creating your own cool tie-dye shirt !!

 I think he may have gotten more on his hands than the shirt! You think??

 Taking a moment to pose for the camera

Now these look like some professional tie-dying skills! Only Mountain Alliance members have that kind of talent.

 The next time Mountain Alliance has a craft craze, make sure you are able to come and create your own awesome crafts to brag about at school! One catch though, make sure you are ready to have fun and bring your imagination, a great attitude, and any crafts you might want to share with the group. See you there!

Mountain Alliance Caving Trip

Mountain Alliance members spend an exciting Saturday full of surprise and adventure on an incredible caving trip nestled in Worley. The members prepared for a beautiful day packed with the unexpected and lots of fun in the underground world. Ending a great semester on such a suspenseful caving trip is just what the students needed to build memories. More great pictures and stories are to come after the members spend an overnight trip at Worley's cave this Friday & Saturday (December 9th & 10th).





Taking a moment to hear the instructions for the day and finding out there are no paved paths or lit walkways. They learned how caves are formed, how they are able to still grow and all the cool creatures they would find inside.

Exploring the unknown!

Only Mountain Alliance members can kill all the mud monsters!

Mountain Alliance Boys can face any cave together!
