High in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Camp Merri-Mac for Girls has been creating unforgettable summers since 1945. Located in Black Mountain, this Christian-based camp offers a rich variety of activities, meaningful traditions, and a nurturing community that helps girls grow in confidence, character, and faith. At Merri-Mac, every day is an adventure. The camp boasts an impressive lineup of activities—riding, rock climbing, lacrosse, gymnastics, cooking, archery, kayaking, dance, drama, fencing, and even spelunking are just the tip of the iceberg. Whether campers are mastering a new skill on the ropes course or learning to paddleboard across the lake, there’s something for every interest and ability. Out-of-camp excursions like backpacking and rafting trips add even more excitement to the experience.
What truly sets Merri-Mac apart is its emphasis on personal growth and community. Campers are placed into one of three tribes—Black Bear, Golden Eagle, or Red Wolf—soon after arrival. These tribes compete in evening games and activities that foster teamwork and friendly rivalry while building lifelong bonds. The camp’s traditions, like tribal competitions and the White Feather Council (which recognizes character traits such as leadership and sportsmanship), create a sense of belonging and purpose that stays with girls long after summer ends. Faith is at the heart of everything at Merri-Mac. Daily chapel services by the lake provide moments for reflection and spiritual growth.
The camp’s outstanding Christian staff serve as role models who encourage campers to live out values like kindness, respect, and perseverance in all they do. For families seeking a summer camp where girls can explore new adventures, deepen their faith, and form lasting friendships in a supportive environment, Camp Merri-Mac is an exceptional choice. It’s more than just a camp—it’s a place where girls discover their strengths, embrace challenges, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
