BLOWING ROCK, NORTH CAROLINA
Camp Catawba was a summer camp for boys near the town of Blowing Rock in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
It was established in 1944 by Vera Lachmann (1904–1985), a poet, classicist and educator who emigrated from Germany in 1939. In 1947 she was joined by the composer Tui St. George Tucker (1924–2004), who was the camp's music director. Camp Catawba closed after the 1970 season.
The boys at Catawba participated in traditional summer camp activities — ball games, swimming, horseback riding, and hiking throughout the 3,000-acre Cone Estate across from Grandfather Mountain.
It was cultural programs that distinguished the camp including drama and music. Throughout Catawba's 27 summers, most of the campers and many of the staff came from New York City and Washington DC. In 1985 the National Park Service purchased the camp grounds.
