Summer Camp for Grown-Ups

Families from across the country flock to western North Carolina during the summer months to drop children off at area summer camps humming with activities. Mountain biking, anyone? How about crafts, canoeing and sing-alongs?

But summer camp doesn’t have to be just for the 18-and-under set. With the kids at summer camp for a week or two, why not stick around and create your own version of camp – Asheville style? With outdoor festivals and concerts, unique shopping and outdoor activities to rival nearly any small city, your kids won’t be the only ones with stories to tell at the end of summer vacation.
