Welcome to
Camp Twigs at Sanders Ferry
Embark on an exciting adventure at Camp Twigs, where curiosity and thrilling escapades come together! Nestled in a picturesque 70-acre park in Hendersonville, along the shores of Old Hickory Lake, this camp is dedicated to unveiling the wonders of the great outdoors.
Picture your days filled with paddle boarding on the serene lake, engaging in the excitement of geocaching, perfecting your aim in archery, and reveling in the joy of play amidst vast grassy fields. Camp Twigs Sanders Ferry offers a delightful playground, a gaga-ball court, and a spacious pavilion where kids can indulge in games and crafts.
What sets Camp Twigs apart is our belief in empowering kids to take charge of their own adventure. While our counselors are on hand for support and guidance, the day unfolds with an unstructured and flexible design, allowing ample time for exploration, forging deeper connections with nature, and cultivating friendships.
Whether it’s constructing forts, observing the beauty of birds, or mastering outdoor skills like fire-building, Camp Twigs is the ultimate destination. The Leadership Academy ensures that kids not only engage in thrilling activities but also feel emotionally secure to practice social skills, build confidence, and navigate conflicts with the guidance of our caring counselors. Join us at Camp Twigs for an unforgettable blend of paddle boarding, geocaching, archery, and so much more!
