The Caraway Philosophy

Camp Caraway

Camp Caraway bases its program on the Christian idea that each boy is a person of worth, created in the image of God. Each boy is important, each has something unique and significant to contribute to the camp. This idea is applied to every activity and to every aspect of the camp program. The key to North Carolina's future lies with the campers of today. Our goal is to instill within each camper the desire to be all that God created him to be.
