Where:  Windy Gap Camp in North Carolina

Welcome to Windy Gap
Windy Gap is owned and operated by Young Life. It is located​ 15 minutes north of Asheville, North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Built on 2,200 pristine acres, our beautiful setting includes amazing views of the surrounding mountains, lush forest and Upper Flat Creek. Year-round​ you will find fantastic facilities, fun activities and southern hospitality at Windy Gap!

Cost:  Coming Soon! (you can contact Julie Scott at juliescott5@gmail.com )

Why:

Since 1970, families from around the country have been coming with their local Young Life groups and leaders to play hard with each other, eat great food and laugh a lot. They meet new people from around the country, try new activities and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ presented in a way teens can understand.

Whether it's gallopping horseback through wooded trails, zipping through our high ropes course, racing to victory on our Naskarts, climbing to the top of our 50 foot tower, losing your stomach on "The Giant Swing", or barrelling down the water slide into the Windy Gap lake - you can count on high adventure at Windy Gap!

And if that is not enough...there are other great surprises and activities...but we don't want to spill the beans! Let's just say there is much much more!

If you need some quiet down-time, there are plenty of places around camp with rocking chairs, lobbies, and great views of the surrounding mountains where you can unwind during free time.

The Country Store has everything you want: t-shirts, books, gifts and more. At the Sippin' Parlor, you can enjoy a famous Skeeter, slushie, ice cream, shakes, candy bars and more.

It makes no difference if one is young or old, we guarantee that our guests will have the "best week of their lives".

Camp Memories

"Nick's talks were by far the best talks I've ever heard."

"The most meaningful thing this week was cabin time, just talking to friends about struggles in my life."

"I loved the 20 minutes we had alone."

"I learned that I needed to let go of my fears and trust Christ."

"I wish we could have done the ridge runners and rappelling more, it was so fun."

"My experience at camp was so good, I dunno what could have made it better."

"This was the best week of my life...for real."
