Future Leaders Of Watersheds Summer Adventure

The Spruce Knob Mountain Center serves as TMI's 400-acre education, demonstration, conservation, research, and conference facility. It is located in Pendleton County on the upper slopes of Spruce Knob mountain (4,863'), West Virginia's highest point. For nearly 30 years, The Mountain Institute has used the SKMC as a base for its national and international programs in outdoor education, research, sustainable land use demonstrations, and yearly conferences on important mountain issues. Programs for all ages are generally offered from March through November.

Presently, the Spruce Knob Mountain Center is open eight months of the year, (from mid-March through the end of November). Throughout the year, the property is supervised by a full time caretaker and his family who live on site. Programmatic staff often reside at the Center during the season.
