The Appalachian Mountains stretch two thousand miles from Alabama to Maine. The highest peaks are in North Carolina and Tennessee, in the sections known as the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The North Carolina foothills stand in the space between the tallest ridges on the East Coast and the rolling countryside of the Piedmont. 

Within the foothills exist some of the most diverse and rugged terrains in the state. There are several world-class mountain biking systems that utilize the accessibility of the lower elevations, without giving up the hilly descents bikers love. There are hundreds of miles of hiking trails, premier fly fishing, boating, and rock climbing all within the foothills.

If you are searching for a summer camp adventure for your elementary or middle school student, you cannot go wrong with an experience in the foothills. Tekoa Foothills provides the highest quality summer camp experience for families within a short drive of:

• Charlotte
• Raleigh
• Greenville
• Greensboro
