Overnight Camper with homemade slingshot at Camp Arrowhead in North Carolina

Activities at Camp Arrowhead

Activities at Camp Arrowhead are designed to strengthen the connection between boys and the natural world while providing the tools and knowledge for real growth. Campers are encouraged to try new things, challenge themselves, and build their skills alongside friends and brothers.

Many of our activities take place each day, allowing boys to progress through skill levels that develop confidence, mastery, and leadership year after year. Other activities appear as special opportunities — unique afternoon adventures where campers can jump into something new and exciting. Whether a camper is shaping his first project in the woodworking shop, learning to juggle, or climbing to the top of the climbing wall, he’s deepening his connection to nature, to the Arrowhead community, and to himself.

Camp Arrowhead offers a unique system of interwoven progressions, where one skill naturally leads to another. Much like life beyond camp, success in one area often depends on knowledge gained elsewhere. Some progressions even bridge multiple disciplines — imagine crafting a stone arrowhead during Flint Knapping, mounting it to a shaft in Woodworking, and fletching it in Bushcraft before sending it flying down the Archery range. These hands-on experiences reward dedication and curiosity, giving every boy the chance to see his hard work come to life.
