A Typical Day at Camp
Every summer is full of excitement and new adventures for campers at Ton-A-Wandah. Each camper designs her very own activity schedule on the first day of camp. She can choose up to twelve activities varying from waterfront activities to the arts. She has a set of six classes for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and another selection for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We encourage our ladies to sign up for things they love along with activites they have never tried before. We want to help them to create the camp experience that they have always dreamed of.

Jenna's Story
Jenna came to Camp Ton A Wandah for third summer session when she was 12. Her parents never attended summer camp and frankly, were quite tentative to give up 3 weeks of summer vacation with her, but Jenna wanted to give it a try. After the first week, Jenna was hooked. She continued as a camper through high school and then became a Counselor in Training and full Camp Counselor during summer breaks while getting her Engineering Degree from Clemson University.
My summer sessions at Ton A Wandah were simply amazing. Don't get me wrong, I loved being at home, but at camp I was completely free to temporarily be away from the norms of who I was at school or church. I could try new things without fear of judgement or failure. That freedom helped build self-confidence, teamwork skills and communication skills that served be well through school and continue to shape me today. The life-long friends I made a camp are still only a phone call away.

The freedom to unplug, be challenged to try new things, and just be a girl among girls was an incredible experience for Jenna during her camp summers. We watched her flourish from a little girl to a young, confident woman, each year becoming more excited to get back to TAW. The life-skills of teamwork, leadership, compassion, and self-challenge have served her well through her middle school, high school and college years right up until now as a Mechanical Engineer, Project Manager and involved community member in Charlotte. We are eternally grateful for the TAW experience during her formative years!
