Camp Green Cove is a traditional summer camp for girls on a mountain lake in North Carolina, with a wilderness adventure focus. They emphasize outdoor activities such as horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, mountain biking, and rock climbing and take lots of out of camp wilderness trips. The program is non-competitive, which encourages experimentation, and non-regimented, which fosters self-direction. Their strengths lie in the quality of the staff and the depth of the program. They value diversity, attracting campers from all 50 states and several other countries. The goal at Green Cove is to build self-esteem while teaching community living skills, respect for the environment and a love for the outdoors. Their brother camp, Camp Mondamin, offers similar experiences for boys.
