Important
2009 Dates
| THE
SUMMER DATES: |
Camp for Counselors -
clinics: Monday, May 28 |
|
|
|
|
 |
We strive to provide an
ideal setting for young men & women to grow to their
fullest potential in the important areas of spiritual,
physical, mental and social development. A strong
emphasis is placed on Christian character-building in
our interdenominational worship programs.
Inspirational campfires, Sunday morning church services
and other special times comprise the religious aspect of
camp. Our greatest ministry is having a staff with
a true and deep commitment to God, a desire to please
Him and to grow in our faith. Faith is
“caught” when campers see a committed staff walking
out their faith in day to day life. We invite our
staff to model their faith with joy and enthusiasm.
Service to others, unselfishness, courage, loyalty,
integrity, respect, friendliness, honesty, and fine
sportsmanship these are values we hold high. These are
goals toward which every counselor should strive.
Camp is designed to provide a growth experience in a
wilderness setting. The resources of nature and human
personalities are used to enrich a balanced program of
fun, adventure, education and inspiration. This growth
involves not only skills, physical growth, mental growth
and intellectual achievements, but growth also in
general maturity. Emphasis is placed on the development
of good attitudes, self confidence, self reliance,
resourcefulness, social graces, a sense of values, moral
convictions, religious faith, and a Christian way of
life. |

Kahdalea & Chosatonga
lie in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western
North Carolina, a region that's awesome for summer life
outdoors. The camps occupy separate facilities
about one mile apart. Kahdalea's capacity is about
160 and Chosatonga's is about 80.
We are not your usual camp with lots of one or two week
sessions. Our sessions are three and a half and
five and a half weeks long. It's great for
teaching quality activities, getting to know the kids
and for building rich friendships.
Each camp has its own lakes, clear bubbling streams,
springs, hiking trails, at an elevation of 3000 feet.
The camps are bordered on Pisgah National
Forest—unlimited acres of beautiful mountain
woodlands. Our address is below. |
|
|
 |
|
The camp has no
responsibility for travel arrangements to or from camp.
These should be made well in advance of opening and
closing. |
|
|
 |
|
Remuneration begins at $1100
for the season and includes meals, lodging,
laundry and workers compensation insurance. Staff
usually gets a full 24 hour day off weekly and 3!
days
off between sessions. |
|
|
|
We are
so pleased that you are interested in Kahdalea &
Chosatonga.
Camp
is rewarding but hard work. We believe you'll love it!
