Youth Camps and Retreat Centers in North Carolina

North Carolina is a lovely state full of natural wonders and rugged beauty. Its differing regions and varied landscape make it a wonderful place for exploring nature and taking part in a wide range of outdoor activities. North Carolina’s western region is home to several Appalachian subranges such as the Great Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Black Mountains.
These areas are full of parks and reserves that host excellent hiking trails, whitewater rafting and camping. North Carolina’s Outer Banks region along the Atlantic coast is a favorite beach destination with miles of shoreline perfect for parasailing, swimming and sport fishing. North Carolina is also home to 34 state parks that offer bike trails, spelunking and rock-climbing.
