When she was a child, Liz Baird couldn't wait to get home from school and climb the towering maple tree in her family's front yard. She would maneuver her small frame through the tangle of limbs to find a sturdy branch where she might read for hours.

Life under the big blue sky was fascinating and fun.

While Chris Turner and a friend hiked the Appalachian Trail three years ago, they hatched a plan to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

This summer at Camp Keyauwee, girls with dirt under their fingernails are learning how to build a campfire, hiking through the woods, paddling canoes and falling asleep to a chorus of tree frogs and crickets in an environment blissfully free of Soulja Boy ringtones and iCarly reruns. Camp Keyauwee, a 350-acre spread in Randolph County that serves Girl Scouts in a 13-county area, has been giving girls a back-to-nature experience for more than 60 years.
