Welcome Back to Summer Camp
DRINK LIKE A GROWN-UP. PLAY LIKE A KID.
Camp Corkscrew is the premier Adult Summer Camp reimagined with white-linen service, competitive team sports, and world-class viticulture. Designed for those who take their play as seriously as their wine, this all-inclusive luxury retreat is hosted over Labor Day Weekend against the stunning backdrop of our private estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Whether you’re smashing a pickleball for the win, flying through the canopy ziplining, or diving down the slip and slide, every high-energy moment is paired with the best our cellar has to offer. This is the ultimate North Carolina vineyard getaway—no curfews, no kids, just pure grapes and glory.
The Three Pillars of Camp
1. The High-Wire & The Hardcourt
Our mornings are for adrenaline in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Take a high-flying Zipline Excursion or dive into our competitive Field Day Relays and Pickleball Tournaments. Led by your Camp Counselors, you’ll compete for the legendary "Golden Corkscrew" trophy in the ultimate North Carolina adult summer camp competition.
2. Gourmet & All-Inclusive
Every meal is prepared by our private chef to showcase the best of our Highlands, NC estate. Your all-inclusive weekend covers everything: daily chef-prepared breakfasts, mountain lunches, an upscale Summer Grillout, and our signature 5-course Wine Dinner. Plus, the estate wine and craft beer flow freely with an Open Bar from check-in to check-out.
3. Nostalgic Traditions
We keep the "camp" spirit alive with high-energy events that get everyone moving. Expect a Vineyard Scavenger Hunt through the rows, classic Bocce Ball matches, and our grand finale: The Great Slip & Slide. At night, the energy shifts to the pavilion for our Camp Talent Show and live acoustic music by the bonfire for the perfect luxury retreat atmosphere.
