Camp Counselor Guide
The Counselor’s Guide to the “Land of Waterfalls.”
The Adventurist, who was a summer counselor in a former life, is our resident expert for all things Brevard and Transylvania County. He’s here to answer your pressing questions and help you make the most of your summer home away from home.
Do you have any handy tips to help with my time off?
Boy, do I ever. First, get your hands on a Camp Counselor Discount Card that’s available from your camp administrator. With it, you can enjoy substantial discounts from 25 area merchants all around Brevard and Transylvania County, thanks to our local Chamber of Commerce.
Second, drop into the Brevard/Transylvania County Visitor Center to learn everything you need to know about The Land of Waterfalls. While you’re there, grab a free Adventure Guide and Waterfall Map.
For the adventure-minded, we encourage you to also use your discount card to purchase a copy of the Pisgah and DuPont Trail Maps at a local merchant. Whether you like to hike, bike, camp, climb or paddle during your off time, these maps are all you need to get out there and start exploring the 80,000 acres of outdoor awesomeness that is Transylvania County. Locally produced by map maker Pete Kennedy, these maps are renowned for both their accuracy and their comprehensiveness. You can find this great resource at many local retailers, including The Hub, Sycamore Cycles, Squatch Bikes, Earth Mountain Bicycle, Hiker and the Hound & DuPont Bike Shop, and DD Bullwinkels’ Map Room, just to name a few.
Finally, use our website’s What’s Happening Now and Event Calendar to find everything happening in Transylvania County. You can also look for the Get Out Guide display with a QR code in business windows all over town. It is a great way to see all the special events and happenings that are taking place.
