The Town of Beech Mountain Parks and Recreation Department offers Summer Day Camp for kids ages 5-12 from late June until early August.  Our camps focus on Outdoor and Environmental Education and offer a wide variety of activities that combine hands on learning with fun to create memories that last a life time.

School is out and it is that time of the year again for your little camper to come out and enjoy all the great activities the Buckeye Summer Camp has to offer. We have exciting new adventures for your camper to engage in while making everlasting friendships at the same time.

Your camper will have the opportunity to appreciate the true meaning of what a Summer Camp is really about by being fully immersed in wonderful activities such as hiking, learning outdoor survival skills, fishing, sports, amazing special guests, and so much more! Buckeye Summer Camp has a new set of adventures and fun activities each week that will leave a timeless memory with your little camper!
