130+ Summer Camps in Charlotte, NC (2026 Guide for Kids & Teens)

Just a short drive from the bustle of Charlotte lies a sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains where kids can truly be themselves. Camp Kanuga is an ACA-accredited, co-ed Episcopal residential camp that has been welcoming campers since 1931.

We believe summer is for more than just staying busy—it’s for intentional growth. Our unplugged environment allows campers to trade screens for 1,400 acres of forest, mountain trails, and our private lake. Whether they are soaring on the zip line, working in the blacksmithing shop, or singing songs around a campfire, your child will find a community built on connection, kindness, and belonging.

We offer programs for ages 6–15, ranging from our 6-day “Starter Camp” for first-timers to our traditional 9-day and 13-day sessions.

Is Kanuga the right fit for your family? If you value a community that fosters independence, celebrates the outdoors, and nurtures the soul, we invite you to explore our 2026 sessions.

Find your place in the mountains. Discover Camp Kanuga.
