Camp Arrowhead for Boys
What we're all about...
Camp Arrowhead for Boys
Originally opened in 1937, Camp Arrowhead for Boys is a traditional camp in Zirconia, North Carolina, where boys learn to see with their hearts, create with their hands, and live together in a spirit of brotherhood. Guided by core values of Self-Reliance, Leadership, Outdoor Adventure, and Self-Expression, Camp Arrowhead helps boys grow into confident, capable young men.
Standard sessions (2–3 weeks) let campers choose from favorites like archery, riflery, survival skills, and sports, while the Mini Camp offers younger boys a structured one-week introduction to all camp activities. Older boys can take part in the Makers Camp, a hands-on week focused on woodworking, blacksmithing, flint-knapping, and other creative projects.
Serving rising 1st–10th graders, Camp Arrowhead teaches boys to use their skills, knowledge, and resources to achieve their goals—building the confidence and independence they need to thrive as future leaders.
