Grace is sung prior to each meal. In fact, we endeavor to attract a true cross section of life to camp- everyone is welcome without regard to race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. Camp Cheerio attracts campers from all over the world. Most however, come from North Carolina and surrounding states. The wide diversity of campers and staff creates an environment in which campers can make friends and learn about people from all parts of the country and world.
All children can benefit from a camping experience.
With the large number of resident camps operating today, the obvious question exists. . . We at Cheerio truly believe there is no other camp which offers such a comprehensive, yet well-balanced camping program. There is something at Cheerio for everyone in which to participate, yet all activities are presented in an atmosphere stressing the importance of having a healthy spirit, mind, and body. The vast majority of campers arrive via private vehicle. Camp Cheerio is located in the northwestern corner of North Carolina, near the town of Sparta in Alleghany County.
