The 2010 Winter at Camp Elk Shoals:

Being located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Camp experienced some record-shattering winter weather this year.  Twenty-two inches of snow fell on December 18th, and one month later, a LOT of it was still on the ground (because of several other much smaller snow "storms," and because the temperature very rarely got above 32 degrees).  In fact, the temperature stayed in single digits right many nights....which caused the river to freeze over.  The picture to the left is of the frozen river at the Camp bridge....but the pictures of this area when the ice started thawing are even more spectacular!                      continue

HAVING FUN AT CAMP ELK SHOALS:
 
For individuals, couples, families and groups (...both large and small): Elk Shoals offers the outdoor enthusiast and nature-lover a multitude of activities that almost guarantees there will never be a dull moment. Obviously, being located on the South Fork of the New River means that a lot of the activities center around this second oldest river in the world. However, being in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina means we are just the place too get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.                    for more information...

  The Elk Shoals Interfaith Camps: 

 The beauty of Camp Elk Shoals is the 
 pristine environment that it presents. God's     wonderous "natural creation" is showcased 
 throughout it's magnificent campus.  The beauty of the boys and girls Elk Shoals Interfaith Camps is their simplistic goal...and the simplistic approach taken in achieving this.  The goal for the fun-loving campers that attend these camps is to come away
still trusting the messages of their own religion
(and their God), but also learning to trust their
fellow man (who, like themselves, are creatures of God's making)....and also learning more about the other two Abrahamic religions of the world ....while  having a LOT of fun!                                                       more....
