“a place high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains”
100 Years of What Now?
A video from Cory Harrison, Vice President of Overnight Camping
One of the things I’m most excited about for Summer 2025 is that we get to celebrate 100 Years on the Mountain. Now, you might be thinking to yourself: “Cory, I believe there was already a 100 year celebration. Camp started in 1912 and I’m doing the math, and that seems like 113 years.” And you’re right! Camp moved around quite a bit in those first 13 years, and we ended up right here on the Mountain - “high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains” is what they said - in 1925. We are so excited to celebrate 100 Years of camping high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains.
