A Place to Grow, Connect, and Belong
Camp Experiences Rooted in Tradition and Personal Connection
Skyland Camp & Retreats offers a collection of intentionally designed camp experiences in Clyde, North Carolina, just west of Asheville and near the Blue Ridge Parkway. For more than 100 years, Skyland has created a space where girls, women, and individuals can step away from the distractions of daily life and reconnect with themselves and others. Our programs are rooted in a tech-free philosophy, small group sizes, and a 3:1 staff-to-camper ratio, ensuring every participant is known, supported, and encouraged.
From first-time campers discovering independence to women rediscovering joy and connection, each experience is shaped by Skyland’s legacy of mentorship, tradition, and meaningful growth. Whether through summer camp, retreats, or equine learning, every moment on Skyland Hill is designed to inspire confidence, curiosity, and lasting relationships.
Why Choose Skyland Camps?
Small by Design, Deeply Personal by Nature
Skyland Camps are intentionally small, welcoming a limited number of participants to create a close-knit, supportive community. This approach allows for personalized attention, stronger connections, and a level of care that larger camps simply cannot offer. With over a century of family ownership, Skyland blends historic charm with thoughtful programming that supports emotional growth, confidence, and leadership development.
Our tech-free environment encourages participants to be fully present, building authentic relationships and engaging deeply with their surroundings. From screened-in sleeping porches and shared meals to time spent on the trails or with horses, every experience is grounded in connection, tradition, and personal transformation.
