Thanks to all the families who made our 2009 Camp Blue Heaven Weekend (Aug. 21-23) a big success! 2010 Camp Blue Heaven Weekend: August 20-22 "There are very few opportunities for families to get away together Camp Activities | Cost | Lodging | Non-Lodging Option Questions? Contact familycamp@unc.edu or call Linda Rainey '95 (MA) at (919) 962-3576. Family members of all ages can participate in all of the great traditional camp activities you'd expect such as arts and crafts, swimming, canoeing, horseback ring riding, archery, riflery and tennis. Camp Cheerio also offers a great climbing wall, skeet shooting and a giant water slide into their lake. Campers also have the option of participating in two half-day adventure excursions away from camp: river canoeing and caving. Special guets such as staff from UNC's Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and former UNC varsity basketball player Eric Montross '94 often join us during the weekend and provide special activities as well.
The camping weekend extends from 6 p.m. Friday until 1 p.m. Sunday and includes five meals, two nights' lodging, program supplies and activity instruction and supervision. If your family plans to arrive on Saturday morning, ask about slightly reduced pricing. Private Lodging & Excellent Meals
Each family will stay in their own private cabin with a large sleeping area of twin-size bunk beds and a private bathroom. Cabins can facilitate families of almost any size. Families must bring their own bedding, pillows and towels. Camp Cheerio also offers accommodations in Millis Lodge for families of four or fewer with hotel-style rooms, a private bathroom and towel/linen service. Non-lodging participants can stay at the nearby High Meadows Inn. Families have rated the food service at Camp Cheerio consistently as "Excellent!" for the past several years.
