Table of Contents

End the search for your next family reunion site, youth retreat, or serenity experience. I have done the work; all you have to do is make the reservation.

As I type, my body still aches, and it feels great!

This is the duality of feelings most visitors to YMCA’s Blue Ridge Assembly experience after an irreplaceable adventure in the Appalachian Mountains.

This year-round conference center provides moderately upscale and traditional cabin lodging experiences with peace, tranquility, and adrenaline awesomeness, all housed on one magnificent and breathtaking landscape.

Black Mountain, North Carolina, just may be the place to be this summer.

If you are into rock climbing, nature walks, pristine beauty, hands-on nature excursions, campfires, accompanied tennis courts, a recreation center, a dive-in pool, and an impressive arts and crafts center, this might be a one-stop shop for your next youth retreat or family bonding experience.

Those of us who loved camp as a child will also love to relive many of those memories with all the liberties of adulthood – except there is absolutely no smoking permitted anywhere on the campgrounds.

However, for those who may be trying to quit smoking, this may also be a suitable place to endure withdrawal as well.

There is entirely too much to do and so much walking that you begin to value the exercise and foster a new respect for lungs and limbs.

Corporate Services, Meetings, and Seminars

Guests attending seminars and corporate meetings can work hard and play more, as the 30 meeting rooms can be set up with audio and visual equipment prior to guest arrival. Conferences of 20 to 700 members can comfortably take place here.

A live-in staff who caters to pre-school-aged children through adults organizes activities. The facilities include:

Playgrounds
Athletic fields
Shuffleboard
Indoor basketball
Hiking trails
Exercise room
Blue Ridge Store
Two horseshoe pits
4 lighted tennis courts
The swimming pool during the summer
Sand Volleyball Court
Craft Shop(booked in advance)
Disc Golf.

Those who wish to take advantage of the surrounding area can leave the premises to explore and enjoy the Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, Folk Art Center, Pisgah National Forest, whitewater rafting, snow skiing, and golf.

YMCA Groups, churches, schools, family reunions, conference groups, organizations/clubs, civic groups, and athletic teams are among the present clientele of this resort, many of whom return year after year.
