PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- About 30 local high school students are stranded in Asheville, North Carolina.

They were camping with Girard College and the North Carolina Outward Bound Program for a week.

Some of their parents say the students arrived a week ago and were supposed to return on Friday, but became stranded.
