Swannanoa 4H Camp

March 9, 2012
Swannanoa 4H Camp is a beautifully rustic co-ed camp nestled in the foothills of the Great Craggy Mountains, only ~15 minutes from Asheville.  This beautifully rustic encampmet was the first 4-H Camp built in NC.  Since the first campers arrived in 1929, Swannanoa 4-H Camp has provided the perfect mountain setting for building friendships and making memories.

How does spending every day at camp and sleeping in the comforts of your own bed sound? Swannanoa 4-H Center is offering a day camp through the ENTIRE SUMMER!! Each day will be filled with fun camp activities and each week has a cool theme.

The whole day is filled with all the fun you can imagine! We do a mix of pre-arranged schedule and "kid planning".   Each group has some scheduled time in areas such as archery, Arts & Crafts, Swimming, etc. so that everyone gets a chance to try everything. But the cool part is that once the cabin group gets together, the group brainstorms what they want to do to fill in the other time. YOU get a say in what you do while you are here!



“We strive to create a camp culture that is positive and supportive for kids to explore their passions and create lasting connections with their campmates.”
