Come spend some fun quality family time getting a taste of the mountains and
the activities.
We at Kahdalea and Chosatonga believe in the wonderful resource of
family. We offer Family Camp to provide a time and a place for families to be
together, to relax, to play, and to enjoy each other in a beautiful natural
mountain setting. In doing this we hope to nurture a closeness within families
and to provide a fabulous experience for all.
Our regular camp program includes child-centered and
wilderness oriented activities. Our goal is to offer a wide range of activities
to stimulate, delight and challenge each child; and to provide an opportunity
for young people to develop lifetime skills and interests in a Christian
environment. Our Family Camp program is a simple extension of this.
LOCATION
Family Camp takes place at Kahdalea in the heart of the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Western North Carolina. Our 180 acres are bordered on three sides
by the Pisgah National Forest, which provides unlimited acres of beautiful
mountain woodlands. Kahdalea has its own lake, clear bubbling streams, and
hiking trails. At an elevation of 2800 feet, the summer climate is lovely!
TRANSPORTATION
The camp assumes no responsibility for making travel arrangements to
or from camp. Most family campers arrive by car. If you are flying, make
arrangements to land at the Asheville, NC airport. Complete information
regarding travel and baggage will be sent prior to the opening day of camp.
ENROLLMENT
We encourage you to register early. Contact your
representative or the camp office for applications. We enroll around fifty
persons at Family Camp.
PROGRAM
Activities offered include tennis, horseback riding, swimming,
canoeing, nature, drama, arts and crafts, riflery, rock climbing, archery,
backpacking, overnight camping, team sports, relaxation time, white water
rafting, and more.
TODDLER CARE
Because of parental involvement during Family Camp, our staff for
this session is minimal. Because of this, we do not offer baby sitting on a
regular basis. We do provide baby sitting for the white water trip and will help
to arrange baby sitting should a special need arrive.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
Our infirmary is available for your needs at anytime during Family
Camp. In addition, we have an on-call physician nearby and the modern
Transylvania Community Hospital is a short drive from camp.
CAMP STORE
The camp store will be open at Family camp! Stationary, toilet
articles, basic camping gear, batteries, film, and camp shirts are available at
the Camp Store. Some craft supplies (i.e., tie-dye T-shirts) will also be
charged to the store account.
WHAT TO BRING
A suggested list of what to bring is sent to Family Camp applicants
before camp begins along with pertinent maps and other information. If at
anytime you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or write.
EVERYTHING, including equipment, should be plainly marked with names.
