​High Ropes Course

​One of our most popular activity is our high ropes challenge course. Constructed in 2016, this multi-level element pushes participants outside of their comfort zone. Participants begin by climbing rope ladders, before having the opportunity to be challenged by 12 unique events. The dismount is a HeadRush Quickjump freefall devices that decelerates jumpers to the ground.

Teambuilding Course

Our Low Ropes Challenge Course emphasizes teamwork, encouraging participants to consider group dynamics while learning about strengths and weaknesses. With several unique elements, this course is rewarding for adults and children alike.

Lake

Our 2.5 acre lake  is at the heart of our camp. In addition to swimming to our inflatable trampoline or water whoosh and splashing around, our pond features a 100’ Wet Willie Waterslide. Additionally, we have several canoes. 

Hiking

Mount Shepherd has several miles of hiking trails. Our most popular hike is to the top of Shepherd Mountain, the tallest point in the county, and the second highest peak of the Uwharrie Mountain chain. This 1.5 mile roundtrip hike features an observation tower, from which you can see much of the North Carolina piedmont. On a clear day you can see Pilot Mountain, Hanging Rock, and the Sauratown mountains, in addition to the cityscapes of Greensboro, Winston Salem, and High Point.

Fishing

Our pond is stocked with catfish, bass and brim. Guest groups are welcome to fish while they are here. 

GaGa Ball

Gaga ball has quickly become the most competitive activity at Mount Shepherd. Step into the octagon for this dodgeball-based game. Games are fast-paced and engaging. Our Gaga “pit” is carpeted with synthetic turf.

Campout

We have a few rustic campsites, including one A-Frame shelter situated in the woods atop a beautiful ridge.
