About Camp 

Camp Merri-Mac is a  christian summer camp for girls ages 6 - 16. Located high up in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, girls come to camp  for over 80 years to have fun. We believe the happiest environment is one in which the love of God is demonstrated by the staff and felt by all. We are often asked what makes camp so special. No one expects a simple answer, which is good, because there really isn’t one. The best we can come up with is that we pay attention to details, and we’re really good at building places where girls  grow through friends and adventure.

Merri-Mac is a traditional, family-run, Christian summer camp. Those buzz-words mean we offer a wide range of activities, we operate as an extended community that is close knit and family-oriented, and that we hire and maintain a Christian staff and environment. We are not a church camp or a sports camp and we love having children from lots of different backgrounds. We also carefully balance competition and cooperation as well as in-camp and out-of-camp activities. Merri-Mac counselors stand in positions of Christian leadership. As such each must demonstrate a serious Christian commitment, a high view of scripture and an abiding understanding of grace. We also hire camp counselors who are winsome and gentle in the way they care for children from different backgrounds.

For more information on available positions this summer, contact our Associate Director, Andrea Young at andrea@merri-mac.com or 828-668-8766.
