School, church, scout or other service-oriented groups looking for a long weekend or weeklong extended service experience have found Narrow Ridge provides much more. Living in our Strawbale Lodge powered by solar and eating tasty plant-based meals is the foundation of their experience. Working together on projects connected to sustainable living is at the heart of their stay. Secluded and immersed in the mountains of East Tennessee and embraced by the quiet without the distractions of technology, participants begin to hear the sounds of our vibrant Earth. At Narrow Ridge they are immersed in more than their service work. Guided woodland day hikes, night sky gazing, time alone and sharing gratitude and experiences are elements that enhance their service experience.
