[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear people say boy scout camp or girl scout camp are wonderful for summer camp options. Do they refer to different area other than dmv area? I have checked some of the summer camp options sign-up, they do not sound as exciting or fun as I expect by reading website description. Amother biggest issue is the bathroom, why no flushabke toilet in many sites. And, some places look quite run down. [/quote]
I've read that Western North Carolina has the most summer camps in the US, especially in the Asheville and Hendersonville area. Some of these camps have been around for over 100 years. They cater to wealthy New Englanders (and other families with $$$) and cost $2000 a week. Many of the sessions are 4 weeks for $8K and fill up early.

My grandson goes to a Boy Scout Camp in WNC and it is around $500 a week.

Years ago our daughter went to a GS Camp in the same area, which was about 25% of the cost of the legendary camps, but that camp is now closed. I'm sure there are other GS summer camps in NC.

One of the perks of your kids going to camp in WNC is that it's a perfect place for the parents to have an adult-only vacation for a week or two. It was 6 hours from Charlottesville, but easy to make it a road trip vacation for the whole family for a few days on the front and back end of the camp session. So many beautiful places to stay along the way.[/quote]
