Any recommendations on sleep-away camps in the region for a 10 yr old girl?

Eagle's Nest Camp https://www.enf.org/eagles-nest-camp/ It's near Brevard NC. There are tons of Decatur kids who go there. It's co-ed, sessions are two or three weeks long. Focus on high adventure outdoors stuff, and the best part is the food is amazing. No technology. You can PM me for more details. I was a camper and staff there, and have two daughters who go there now.

I started Camp Juliette Low at 10 years old and thus began a lifelong love for that place! I can’t wait for my daughters to go as campers. We already go now for reunion and parent-daughter weekend. It’s a magical place that does wonders for empowering young girls to be independent leaders! Cjl.org

My daughter has been going to Camp Pine Acres in Acworth for many years (and she is not a Girl Scout). She loves it, I love it, and I'm hoping she'll continue on this coming summer as a full-on counselor before she goes away to college.

My kitty was also diabetic (Village Vets/Dr Stacy were able to reverse his diabetes and he's doing great now!) and I bookmarked this post in another group a few months ago just in case I needed help: " I am a vet tech with 13 years of experience in caring for animals. In my spare time, I've been known to pet sit, give animals medicine for pet parents who just can't manage it, and even walk dogs! If you are need of my services or know someone who is, please don't keep this post a secret! :D Thanks! Elizabeth elizabethann81@gmail.com"
