We have wonderful summer weather. Daily average temperatures are mid-80s Farenheit. Evenings are a welcome cool mid-60s. Our chef, Ronnie, has been with us since 1978 and is very popular with the campers. We eat family-style meals sitting together at the tables.
Fresh fruit is available to campers all day.
A younger camper very tentative about leaving home could try a one-week session. New campers of any age who are thrilled about attending camp are ready for two or three weeks. Homesickness is rare at Chatuga, but our staff are trained to recognize and handle it. Counselors give a listening ear and direct campers to make friends and join in camp life. All campers adjust after a few days when parents support that adjustment.
