Our Mission at Holston Camp and Retreat Center is to provide an unequaled place and opportunity for persons of all ages to share the love of Christ and connect with God’s Creation.
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:12
Ours is a tradition of small group camping with a big group plan. We encourage campers to embark on a journey of the mind, body and spirit. It’s a journey that requires a knapsack that we supply with independence, self-reliance, curiosity, creativity, and faith. We learn to work, play, sing, and worship together. We furnish minds and bodies with skills essential for physical, social, and character development with an emphasis on Christian values.
We don’t preach, we engage. We don’t threaten, we question. We don’t discriminate, we include. We don’t judge, we love. We are about being positive and optimistic as we rise to meet the challenge to love our neighbor, and treat others as we would want to be treated. We walk a path toward discovery and enlightenment. We seek to embrace God’s boundless gifts and share them with all people.
Each summer, we host one of the best Summer Camps in North Carolina. Summer Camp includes Resident Camp and Day Camp.
When we’re not entertaining summer campers, we specialize in retreats for family reunions, business meetings, social groups, and church groups. We specialize in group accommodations. We have cabins that sleep 16, a dormitory that sleeps 16, a bungalow that sleeps 14, and our lodge that has 9 private rooms and baths with 2 full size beds, and 5 private rooms with twin beds. You may also wish to stay in our Rustic Campsites with limited conveniences.
New in 2018 is our Upper Meadows Cabin. It has 7 bedrooms each with a queen-size bed and futon chair and 6 bathrooms. It’s fully furnished and offers modern amenities such as WI-Fi, Smart TVs, handicapped access, gas fireplace, gas and charcoal grills, covered deck, full kitchen, and large gathering spaces. Our dining hall can also accommodate 130+. We encourage our guests to take advantage of our low prices for our delicious, buffet-style meals.
You can have some fun here too. We offer our guests the opportunity to be outdoors and participate in outdoor activities. All of our guests are encouraged to seek God, to be transformed into new, enlightened beings, and to engage in a community of faith.
