| Wildacres is a true retreat,
undisturbed by through traffic or noises of the city. The 1,600 acres
are adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway and thousands of acres of the
Pisgah National Forest. The buildings are modern yet rustic and provide
a very comfortable setting for the programs offered. Guests stay in two
lodges which have 57 bedrooms. Each room has a private bathroom and
accommodates two guests. There are no televisions or telephones in the
rooms. |

The adjacent reference library is available for small group sessions and
for use by individuals. |
