Pine Mountain served more than 3500 children and adults providing hand-on experience, perspective, and information about the earth, its natural processes, and its complex interactions which support all life. Environmental Education remains the primary program of Pine Mountain Settlement School. We are committed to helping people understand, value, and protect the earth and to caring for and protecting the natural and physical environment around the School campus.
Pine Mountain works hard to be a good neighbor and steward in our local community.
The Community Program sponsors crafts classes, Little School, Homemakers Club, social events and community meals, gospel singings, Fair Day, Day Camp, and the Nativity Play. More than 100 children and teenagers participated in Pine Mountain Day camp which was expanded to two and a half weeks. Imagine some of the most influential leaders and thinkers in the region joining forces with community residents, regional artists, and citizens. Imagine that together all these people reflect on what settlement institutions have meant in the region and how they might make life better in the southern Appalachians in the 21st century. What a dynamic, exciting, and productive event that would be.
