We are new to Brevard and decided after several years of sending our sons to another camp in the North Carolina mountains, that we'd see what Transylvania County had to offer. My oldest son and I made an appointment to go tour Camp Carolina, and from the moment we started walking around and learning more about it, his eyes began to light up like a Christmas tree. I knew he'd found a place to call home, and that his little brother would love it just as much. I can't tell you how many times they've watched the 30 minute promo video (and made their friends watch it!) and looked through the brochure, daydreaming of all the adventures Camp Carolina has in store for them next summer. Camp Carolina says this is where boys become men, and I can't wait to see them after three/two weeks of being encouraged and supported in taking "healthy risks" and enjoying beautiful Pisgah Forest and Dupont Forest (without Mom hovering and saying "be careful!"). Take time to look at their web site and also check out their FB page. I was extremely impressed by their focus on serving local meat and produce, and how thorough their interview process is to hire staff and counselors for camp. read more

I attended CCB around 1989/90. I was a camper the first year and a CA the second year. The thing I loved the best about the camp, besides the beauty of the area was the exposure of different personalities I met there. I'll be honest, the first year I went I was exposed to a little bullying. It was nothing major, I just ended up with a nickname for the rest of my time there. I still had the best summers of my life! Two years ago I decided to go back to Brevard to hike and reminisce. On the second to last night there I wanted to see the camp again, the last summer session had just ended the week before. To my surprise, it turned out to be an alumni weekend. There were about 20 or so people and I was invited to join everyone for dinner in the mess hall. What an amazing experience it turned out to be. To have dinner in the same chair I had sat in 27 years earlier. I now come back every year to hike and mountain bike in the area. I would highly recommend this camp. This is where I became a man! read more

Camp Carolina were the 5 best summers of my life. I went for 4 years as a camper and one year as counselor assistant. I thoroughly enjoyed ever one of my years there and wouldnt trade a single one away for anything. I learned so much about extreme sports and tried all sorts of sports/experiences that I likely wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to otherwise while there in the mountains of Brevard NC. My time at camp was also important in my development as a person. It was here I learned about different cultures (at the time I was there, well over 95% of the staff was from foreign countries) and how to make friends on the fly. I still keep up with many Campers and Councilors from my time there and that started over a decade ago. I seriously cannot recommend this camp enough. I eagerly look forward to the day when I can take my own kids to Camp Carolina! read more

There are few places on earth where boys can go and be the best version of themselves. Camp Carolina truly brings out the best in its boys. My soon to be 11 year old son has been going to Camp Carolina since he was going into second grade and only wishes he could stay longer every summer! The counselors are fantastic, and receive excellent training before the campers arrive. The food is even great! There is such a wide variety of activities to choose and as such, there really is something for everyone. I'm just sad my daughters can't get the Camp Carolina experience. My son truly thinks of Camp Carolina as the greatest place on earth! read more

My 9 year-old son is eager to go back for his third summer at Camp Carolina. A second-generation camper (his dad went there for many years, too), my son wishes he could LIVE at this camp. Each year the counselors go out of their way to make the children feel welcome and excited. They also write to the parents to reduce parental worry and to make us feel included. This is my son's favorite place in the world, and I am so grateful for the confidence and independence CCB has helped instill in him. My son's only complaint about camp is that he cannot stay there forever. It is his "happy place." read more

My time at Camp Carolina is a time I'll never forget! I was a camper for two years and a Counselor's Assistant for one and enjoyed my summers there so much that I would stay there year round if I could. Camp Carolina offers not only many in-camp and out of camp activities, but also a friendly atmosphere that helps you build bonds with other campers. Some I am still friends with 10 years later! I highly recommend this camp to anyone who wish for their sons to not only have a fun time over the summer, but also wish for them to learn valuable life skills that they will keep with them forever. read more

My eldest son has been attending Camp Carolina for the past 3 summers and my middle son has attended for 1... it is their favorite place on Earth! Counselors have all been wonderful, and the year round staff is fantastic. I love getting letters and hearing stories about the adventures they experience, I also really appreciate the weekly update letter from the cabin counselor. The Camp itself is located in one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. My boys have always returned home a little more mature and with more self confidence. I hope to send them back again!! read more

After a less than ideal experience at another summer camp, our son gave camp another shot with 2 weeks at Camp Carolina and had an amazing experience. The counselors and leadership are terrific and foster an environment of excitement and support for every camper. While some camps emphasize competition and conformity, Camp Carolina promotes good citizenship, respect, and enthusiam, and recognizes and encourages the individuality and uniqueness of each boy. We couldn't be happier and neither could our son. My daughter is so disappointed she can't go too! read more

Our older son has gone to CCB for three years and his younger brother will join him this year. I cannot express what CCB has meant to our son...he is an incredibly busy kid all year and CCB is his "happy place" that he looks forward to visiting each year. Camp Carolina offers boys an amazing opportunity to explore the outdoors and try new activities, all while under the watchful eyes of the counselors. I have seen an amazing boost in his self confidence that I directly attribute to his time spent at CCB. We will be a CCB family for many years to come! read more

This camp is exceptional and like no other in the market. It is expensive, but the best money I have ever spent on camp. It has fabulous counselors (exceptionally well trained), diverse fun activities, amazing staff, good food, and a culture that inspires boys to try new things and be good people. My son has gone for six years and has even been a counselor's assistant (which he loved too). We love CCB and are grateful for all it has done to develop our son. I think any boy is lucky to go there. read more

Our boys have been going to Camp Carolina for three years and BEG to go back every year. This camp is a kids dream with all of their awesome activities like rock climbing, horse back riding, hiking, hand gliding, golfing, mountain biking, fencing and that doesn't even crack the surface! We also love the leadership and accountability they were shown by the entire staff. We love that the counselors are from all over the world exposing the kids to different cultures and people. We love CCB! read more

By far and away the best place on earth. A summer camp unlike any other, Camp Carolina for boys is an expeirence that every young man should get. Spending numbers summers there myself, it has shaped who I am day, and i still hold those lasting memories dear to my heart. CB is the ultimate summer camp experience for you son and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a summer camp that will make difference in your sons life Mitch O. read more

I look back on my days at Camp Carolina as some of the best years of my life. My father and both of my brothers are also alumni of Camp Carolina. I went in the 60's when Nath was still the headman. I still have my paddle in the attic and remember tales about "The old man on the mountain"! While I did not have any son's I do have a 1 year old grandson and it is my hope that he too will one day spend a wonderful summer at Camp Carolina! read more

This was my 12 yrs olds first ever sleep away camp and he did it for 3weeks.... I can't even explain how amazing everyone at camp is. The letters from the counselors and the kids are just filled with excitement and praise for the kids. He was nervous at first but in the end this was the greatest experience of his life so far he was ready to go back the day he got home. Of course he will go back this summer 2018 Love Camp Carolina read more

My son Nick attended Camp Carolina for 3 years. He is now 22 and still talks about his summers he spent there. This was the best decision we as parents could have made for our son. He recently traveled up to the area to mountain bike and actually road his bike up to camp but much to his disappointment no one was there. We truly loved everything about Camp Carolina. It's a great investment in your son. read more

You can ignore the 1-star fake review. I was a camper at Camp Carolina in the 80's, and then returned as a counselor in the early 90's. It was, and still remains, one of the best experiences in my life. My nephew is now a camper, and I continue to encourage folks in the southeast (and beyond) to consider Camp Carolina as a summer camp for their children. I can't recommend more. read more

Best camp ever!! Top notch equipment and the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and ALWAYS enthusiastic! My son said the counselors go out of their way to accommodate your every need and concern. My son asked me, "Mom, do they have a winter camp?" read more

Camp Carolina is fantastic. My son went to Camp Carolina for 4 Summers and absolutely loved every minute. It's one of his favorite life adventures and I treasure every letter he sent me from camp! Life changing experience for sure. read more
