Kahdalea and Chosatonga
provide ideal settings for each camper to grow to his or
her fullest potential in the areas of spiritual,
physical, mental and social development in our beautiful
wilderness settings. The resources of nature and
personalities enrich a balanced program of fun,
adventure, education and inspiration. Emphasis is
placed on Christian character building as well as
development of social graces, good attitudes, self
confidence, resourcefulness and a sound philosophy of
life.
Our 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 setting. |
|
|
 |

Both camps lie in the heart
of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
Our 210 acres are bordered on three sides by the Pisgah
National Forest, which provides unlimited acres of
beautiful mountain woodlands. Each camp has its
own separate campus with its own lake, clear bubbling
streams, and hiking trails. The camps are a mile
apart. At an elevation of 2800 feet, the summer
climate is lovely!
Camp Kahdalea is located
just off Highway 64, seven miles west of Brevard, N.C.
and Camp Chosatonga is located just off Highway 215,
inside Pisgah National Forest. |
|
|
 |
|
Activities offered include
backpacking, tennis, horseback riding, swimming,
canoeing, high ropes challenge course, nature study,
mountain biking, drama, sign language, arts and crafts,
riflery, rock climbing, archery, fishing, dance (girls),
team sports, guitar and more. Chosatonga shares tennis
and riding facilities with its sister camp, Kahdalea. |
|
|
 |
|
We
encourage parents to register early.
We recommend our Main Session for a maximum camp
experience. Our program is geared to meet the
needs of campers 8-17. We maintain at least a
4:1 camper-staff ratio. Kahdalea's enrollment is
150, Chosatonga's is 80. |
|
|
 |
|
Campers arriving by plane
will be met at the Asheville NC Airport. The
airport pick-up and return is provided by the camps.
No luggage larger than a standard footlocker should be
brought to camp. For those traveling by air,
baggage may be checked with the camper. Auto
travelers may bring their luggage with them. An
alternative is to ship your luggage by UPS or RPS.
The camp assumes no responsibility for travel to or from
camp. Arrangements should be made by parents well
in advance of opening and closing dates of the chosen
session. Complete information regarding travel and
baggage will be sent prior to the opening day of camp. |
|
|
 |
|
Camp offers children such a
wonderful opportunity to develop independence and
increase self-confidence. It is one of camp's
greatest benefits and an advantage for your child.
Therefore, we ask that parents limit visits to one
after the first two weeks of camp are past. Please
visit on opening day and during our closing activities,
too. |
|
|
 |
|
Please do not send candy,
chewing gum, or cookies to campers. Food is not
allowed in cabins. We provide fresh fruit for
our campers every day. |
|
|
 |
|
Our infirmary is staffed by
our camp nurse who is on call 24 hours a day. In
addition, our on-call physician visits camp weekly and
the modern Transylvania Community Hospital is a short
drive from camp. In light of the fact that the
majority of parents have their own medical insurance,
the camp does not provide health insurance. It is
the parent's responsibility to pay
for all medical treatment which is beyond the scope of
our infirmary (emergency room fees, doctor’s fees,
X-rays, prescription drugs, and special medications).
Each camper and counselor is required to have a medical
examination within a few weeks before arrival at camp. A
form to be signed by the examining physician will be
sent to the parents before camp. |
|
|
 |
|
Laundry service is provided
by camp at no charge. Camp cannot be responsible for
lost articles of clothing or other personal property. Campers
must mark all personal possessions plainly with their
names. Do not bring non-essential articles or
expensive clothing to camp. |
|
|
 |
|
Toilet articles, stationary,
batteries, camp shirts and the like are available at the
Camp Store. Some craft supplies (i.e., tie-dye T-shirts)
will also be charged to the store account. A
suggested amount of spending money is about $25 per
week. This spending money will be deposited in the
camper's store account and any unused portion will be
refunded to the parents shortly after the close of the camp
season. |
|
|
 |
|
A weekly letter furnishing
information regarding a camper’s routine camp life,
health, special interests and participation in the camp
program is sent to parents. These weekly letters
from cabin counselors keep parents well informed of
their child’s life, health, and activities while at
camp. |
|
|
 |
|
Campers who will be at least
16 years old and going into their junior or senior year
in high school are eligible for our leadership
training program. They will be given extra
responsibilities and will be expected to model high
standards. Emphasis is placed on development of
good attitudes, self confidence, resourcefulness, social
graces, a sense of values, moral convictions, religious
faith and Christian living. Junior Counselors (JCs)
receive discounted tuition of a third off for their
first year and a half off their second year. They
are also eligible to be invited to join the staff after
high school rather than after a year of college.
Additionally, we have
what we call "Summer Staff". These are
JCs who do additional work at camp, usually some service
in the kitchen, in return for tuition discounts. |
|
|
|
|
Kahdalea and Chosatonga are
used in the spring and fall for various retreats, school
wilderness experiences, meetings, reunions, etc. We
provide staff and program or just the facilities.
Call for information.
