Numbers indicate spots left in a session. If a session is marked "waiting list", proceed with online registration to be added to this list. A deposit is not required to join the waiting list.

* If your child has completed the 10th or 11th grade she has the option to be part of Wilderness Program or the in-camp program. The Wilderness group spends most of their time out of camp, hiking and camping in the Pisgah National Forest. Find out more information about the Wilderness program here.

Session Break: We do not allow campers to stay with us between sessions. If your child attends more than one session, you will need to make arrangements for them to be picked up between sessions and returned for the next session on Opening Day. The pickup person can be any approved adult age 18 or older. The camper's belongings may stay in their cabin over session break. We will try to make it easy for stayover campers to check back in on Opening Day.
