Wooley Swamp Spring Hang
NCHH's spring kickoff at Wooley Swamp Farm in eastern North Carolina. A friendly, food heavy weekend in the woods.

It is car camping, so you can bring the comfy gear and a camp kitchen. Shared meals come together through donations to the cooks. The 2026 edition ran April 17 to 19. Families and beginners are welcome.
