Abstract:
The only girls’ camp listed on the National Register of Historic Places leaves a multilayered legacy. Girls participating in its three and four week programs experience traditional activities like archery along with coppersmithing. Attesting summer camps’ influence was the number of children attending Western North Carolina camps in 2010, 53,000 in the cited economic impact study. Another benefit was represented in that year’s revenue, noted in the study as 365 million statewide and 33 million locally for camps in four WNC counties.

House Party for Etiquette for Young Ladies and Gentlemen offers instruction on etiquette and proper dress of formal attire along with conventional camp activities like canoeing. The house, in Nancy Dawson Rascoe’s family for two centuries and restored by N.C. Division of Archives and History’s standards, became the site of a film, Ms. Nancy Minds their Manners.
