Private Location in the Valley of
the Blue Ridge Mountains

Wellspring Adventure Camp is located at Camp Hope, a picturesque, secluded location in a nook in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about an hour west of Asheville, NC, and just down the hill from beautiful and historic Mt. Pisgah (elevation of 6,000 feet).

The Blue Ridge Mountains are a famous destination for vacationers, naturalists and adventurers, offering a wide range of options for recreation and adventure, such as hiking and backpacking, camping, fishing, biking, horseback riding, swimming, rock-climbing, waterfalls, wildlife, historical areas, and a variety of special programs to choose from. The mild southern climate means that most areas are accessible year-round, although given the varying elevations, there is a high degree of variability to the weather. Summertime daily temperatures average in the 80's in the lower elevations to the 70's to near 80’s at Camp Hope.

Camp Hope is a perfect base for adventure expeditions to nearby mountains and rivers, and is a wonderful place to spend the summer.

We also welcome you to visit our sister program, Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas for an Open House during any Family Workshop weekend. Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas transitions many students to Wellspring Adventure Camp for the summer, and many Wellspring Adventure Camp campers continue their progress towards a healthier weight at Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas in September. The Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas campus is located in Brevard – just over Mt. Pisgah from Wellspring Adventure Camp.

Wellspring Adventure Camp picks up campers at Asheville, NC Airport (AVL) and Greenville-Spartanburg, SC Airport (GSP).

Facilities

Camp Hope has served Western North Carolina for 80 years, and is one of the most historic and highly regarded camp facilities in the region.
Wellspring Adventure Camp has renovated many of the cabins, and constructed a number of brand new facilities at Camp Hope. All cabins are clean and airy. Full bathrooms are located in every cabin.

Camp Hope’s historic dining hall, porches, and pavilion are still entirely intact and provide campers with ample activity space in the event of inclement weather. Campers play basketball, hockey, volleyball and tennis on the playing courts. The buildings surround several playing fields, which host every sport and game imaginable, along with the “Chow Circles” every day before breakfast and dinner.

The East Fork of the Pigeon River runs through camp, providing several swimming holes for swimming and water sports. Picnic tables dotting the riverside are the perfect setting for group sessions, or just relaxing. Further down the river is our fire circle, where we celebrate camper achievements every Friday night.

Wellspring Adventure Camp is the best place to have fun, get in shape, and make friends for life this summer.
