Our History
Camp Yonahlossee
For over a century, the cool, refreshing temperatures of summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains have drawn tourists and visitors to this serene corner of western North Carolina. Among the area’s most cherished landmarks was the Yonahlossee Girls Club, a significant part of Boone’s history. Founded in 1922, the club remained a beloved institution until the late 1980s, offering young women a sanctuary where they could forge lasting friendships, engage in outdoor recreation, and explore creative crafts.
Betty Yarboro: A Member and Camper
"Camp Yonahlossee (Cherokee for “Trail of the Bear”) was one of the premier girl’s summer camps in the southeast for over sixty years. Many girls attended summer after summer, and lifelong friendships were made. Yonahlossee was known for its horseback riding program. Other activities included, tennis, swimming, canoeing, archery, rifle shooting, pottery and weaving. Every girl was assigned to one of four Indian “Tribes”: Tuscarora, Croatan, Shawano. and Chippewa. The camp tribes competed against each other and “Pow Wows” were held in front of a campfire. Each cabin had a name- Wickrup, Watauga, Shangri-La, and Paradise to name a few. The oldest campers lived in Paradise Cabin- literally and figuratively. These campers had special privileges and were the envy of the camp.
Many former campers count their days at Camp Yonahlossee as some of the happiest of their childhoods."
