Camp Cherokee Rock Hill

Adventure calls at Camp Cherokee, a beacon for youthful explorers and spirited adventurers. Founded in 1945 and part of the Upper Palmetto YMCA network, this residential camp encourages boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 14 to fully embrace the richness of outdoor life. Tucked away in the picturesque Kings Mountain State Park, it's where young hearts find joy, self-confidence, and lasting friendships. The camp's long-standing mission? To help every child tap their potential in a safe and nurturing ambiance. Here, growing up happens amid exhilarating experiences, chuckles around the campfire, heartwarming camaraderie, and lessons in character-building. Camp Cherokee's offerings are as diversified as its vibrant camper community from all over the USA. Primary activities include swimming, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and even a dash of enthralling adventures like 'Rambo' and rock climbing. Each pursuit is ingeniously woven into the camp's experience to elevate the campers' appreciation for diverse cultures and to create bonds that form a global family. In this spirited camp, cabins aren't merely sleeping quarters but a stage for essential life training. They provide an opportunity for children to nurture self-sufficiency, learn cooperation, and make decisions independently in a 'home away from home' surrounded by supportive peers. With over seven decades of experience in fostering these values, Camp Cherokee promises more than mere fun. It gifts children an unforgettable summer filled with growth, adventure, and endearing memories.
