Choosing a camp in North Carolina
Summer camps in North Carolina concentrate in the Blue Ridge mountains around Hendersonville, Horse Shoe and Zirconia — residential camps in the cool green hills that have made western North Carolina one of America's densest traditional-camp regions — with programmes in Raleigh on the other side of the state.
Families choose the Carolina mountains for sleepaway camp in its southern form: creeks, ridgelines, horseback and a camping tradition that runs generations deep.
