About Camp Ton-A-Wandah

Parents, is your daughter ready for an adventure this summer? Camp Ton-A-Wandah is the perfect place for your daughter to find her inner explorer and create lasting memories. Nestled on the shores of its very own ten-acre lake in the pristine Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Ton-A-Wandah is a residential summer camp for girls. With 365 acres of mountainous terrain including streams, trails, and a cascading waterfall, campers will have the opportunity to explore and discover the beauty of their surroundings. Since 1933, Camp Ton-A-Wandah has been a summer tradition for girls from five to 16 years old. At TAW, young girls are able to develop new skills, create friendships, and discover who they are as individuals. As campers have fun while learning, they will also be building character and making memories that will last a lifetime. Camp Ton-A-Wandah is a place of exploration and challenge, where girls can find adventure and new opportunities. In historic Flat Rock, a few miles from Hendersonville, your daughter will get to experience the refreshing summer climate and enjoy the beauty of the natural world. Take the opportunity to give your daughter a summer experience that will stay with her forever: send her to Camp Ton-A-Wandah, that magic place where the water falls.

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

Starter Camp (for true beginners)

We understand that some of you may be new to the world of summer camps and need a way to "dip your toes before you swim." This one-week session in August was created for just that reason. This shortened session allows your camper the chance to completely integrate into camp life and experience the spirit of Ton-a-Wandah in a smaller group setting. Limited to first-time campers ranging in age from 5-11, Starter Camp's capacity is 50 campers. During this week, your camper will be given a schedule of our most popular and traditional camp activities: archery, canoeing, riflery, horseback riding, arts and crafts, land sports, rock climbing, and swimming. She will experience six of these activities every day to get the most out of each experience during her short stay. She will also enjoy many of the same evening programs as the campers in our longer sessions.

Two Week Sessions (for first year campers)

For first time campers or those returning from Starter session, Camp Ton-A-Wandah offers a two week session as a shorter option to our traditional three week camp program. During those two weeks, your daughter will be able to explore and get a taste of all that TAW has to offer! In addition to experiencing everyday camp life and activities that she is able to choose, your daughter will be initiated into a nation and participate in our unique Evening Programs and out of camp trips. Camp Ton-A-Wandah offers our two-week campers the opportunity to stay for a third week. We have seen through the years, many of our two-week campers request to stay the third week. We are happy to work with families on an individual basis to offer the third week during camp if that is an option for your family.

Three Week Sessions (our traditional camp program)

Camp Ton-A-Wandah's traditional program is based on a three week model. When you enroll for three weeks, your camper will get the complete programmatic experience of Camp Ton-A-Wandah. Our program allows your daughter to select her own personal activity schedule, where she can experience new activities along with activities that she already loves and enjoys. During her three weeks, she will be able to challenge herself as she achieves new goals and ranks in her classes that she can build upon year after year. Unlike what you will experience in a two week session, that final week is centered on unity and the bringing together of all of camp through experiences such as Tribe Day, Honor Assembly, and Candlelight. Your daughter can be involved in all tribe competitions and ceremonies either playing for her tribe or cheering on her fellow Ton-A-Wandah sisters. Through these Ton-A-Wandah traditions, camp comes together to reflect, celebrate, and take to heart the special times at TAW, hoping to “Return Once More."
