heavy eyes, you can climb the

colorful, spiral staircase to the

sleeping quarters situated in

our amazing loft space.

Finally, when its time tohead back home, say gbye to

the hardworking staff in the

office and stop by the Trading

Post to purchase camp

memorabilia.

How big is this camp? . And why cant boys come?April 1 at 7:36pm

Thanks for the questions, Myles. Camp Pisgah sits on 160 acres of

woodland in Brevard, NC just outside the Pisgah National Forest. Just

imagine the football field of your favorite professional team now

imagine 121 of those football fields laying side-by-side! THAT is how

big Camp Pisgah, so to speak!

As for your second question well, Myles Camp Pisgah is an all-girls

camp, founded 60 years ago by local girl scouts and has been a

part of the scouting experience in the region ever since. Boys areinvited to special events, like Family Fun Day in June and Family

Camp in August. Otherwise, this is a girls only zone! Sorry.
