YMCA Camp Cheerio
Located high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains of northwest North Carolina, YMCA Camp Cheerio is the ideal place for persons of all ages to enjoy a camp experience. Cheerio offers many challenging programs, from summer resident camps and wilderness tripping camps, to senior adult camps, conferences and retreats, group adventures, outdoor education and our new Cheerio EXTREME, which is a combination of Traditional Camp and Cheerio Adventures. Founded in 1960 by the YMCA of High Point, N.C., Camp Cheerio seeks to provide campers with a sustained, creative, and educational experience in the out-of-doors. Through the use of natural surroundings, and under the Christian guidance of trained leadership, YMCA camping seeks to help campers achieve their fullest potential in terms of mental development, physical well-being, social growth, and spiritual awareness.
