Overnight Camp


WoHeLo and Welcome to Camp Toccoa

For many families, summer camps, particularly overnight camps, have been a cherished summer experience for generations. Uniquely situated on 176 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northeast Georgia, Camp Toccoa is a traditional summer camp boasting forested trails, waterfalls, a lake, high and low ropes courses, swimming pool, an environmental education center, and a state-of-the-art riding stable.

Our coed summer camp for young people entering grades 2 to 12 offers a variety of fun and challenging activities. Our energetic staff, many of whom were campers themselves, are dedicated to helping campers learn about themselves and the natural world around them.

Campers choose their morning activities. Some options include:

  • Archery
  • Canoeing
  • Horseback Riding
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Swimming
  • Low Ropes or High Ropes (depending on age)
  • Nature
  • Wilderness Skills
  • Sports & Games
  • Drama

Evening activities include theme nights, dances, talent shows, pool parties, cookouts and camp outs. Every camper will have the opportunity to cook a meal over an open fire and sleep under the stars (weather permitting). Each session ends with a traditional Council Fire.
