School Counselor Experience

Calling all high school and independent counselors! Visit Lees-McRae College in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains for a week-long educational program and getaway select counselors.

Explore our mountain home located in beautiful Banner Elk, North Carolina. Learn about some of our innovative academic offerings including Wildlife Biology, Wildlife Rehabilitation, Outdoor Recreation Management, Ski Industry Business and Instruction, and Wilderness Medicine and Rescue.

The fun doesn’t stop there. While you’re in town conquer the Mile High Swinging Bridge at nearby Grandfather Mountain, visit downtown Boone and the historic Mast General Store, attend a Lees-McRae Summer Theatre performance, and enjoy a reception at a local winery.
