👣 LOOKING FOR A FUN LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN NORTH CAROLINA… AND A LITTLE NOSTALGIA TOO? 👣
If you grew up in North Carolina, there’s a good chance you may have spent time at Camp John J. Barnhardt as a child—maybe in Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, church camp, or school trips.
Now imagine coming back… years later… and bringing your own children or grandchildren to experience it with you.
This Labor Day weekend is the perfect chance to do just that.
Come relive those memories, walk the same beautiful mountain paths, and show your family where you once made your own childhood memories—surrounded by the stunning views of Badin Lake and the Uwharrie Mountains.
It truly is one of the most beautiful camps in North Carolina.
And this year, it’s home to something unforgettable…
