About YMCA Camp Cherokee

Send your kids off to the Upper Palmetto YMCA’s Camp Cherokee this summer! Located in Kings Mountain State Park, Camp Cherokee has been providing a safe and fun environment for boys and girls ages 6 to 15 since 1945. Kids get to enjoy a variety of traditional and adventure activities, like swimming, hiking, Rambo, and rock climbing, while meeting and making friends with kids from across the United States. Camp Cherokee also helps kids learn to be independent and make decisions on their own. Cabin life allows them to experience self-reliance, while also teaching them the importance of cooperation and learning to work with others. Don’t miss this opportunity to allow your child to reach their full potential and create lasting friendships!
