Blackwelder Park in Lenoir feels like a compact civic space built around momentum and memory,…read moreanchored by Thomas Sayre's "Across the Grain" sculpture, a 26 foot earthcast concrete ring whose jagged, circular form rises like a portal cut straight out of the ground and nods to the region's furniture-making heritage. The sculpture sits on the Church Street and Harper Avenue corner of the park, where a winding path leads visitors towards it, and the surrounding plaza includes seating crafted from historic timbers that frame the artwork and the grassy berm around it. The site's history as the former Blackwelder Hospital is marked nearby, but today the presence of benches and visible power outlets suggests the park doubles as a small community venue, likely hosting markets or festivals in addition to casual downtown foot traffic, an inference I'm making from the park's open layout and civic placement.

Stayed here for a week during a family retreat in October. The leaves were turning and a cold snap…read morebrought out a noticeable change that was seen both at the main camp and at the Billy Graham Overlook. The food was the most surprising part about the stay. It was well prepared, served buffet style and basically all you can eat. We had a date night where they set individual tables and served a five course meal. Salad, salmon, asparagus, linguine and berry tart. They served each course to our table, meanwhile camp staff were watching our rug rats. (They will not watch rug rats under 2 years old) The high ropes course was a good family bonding experience. The course is set up to be as challenging as you want. The grand finale is a double zip line. It was open for us from 2 PM to 4:15 along with climbing wall and you could go as many times as you wanted. The marina on Lake Broyhill had a fire ring, canoes, kayaks, sailing boats and a pontoon boat. The lake is textured enough to provide a long afternoon of paddling and support sunfish / bass. Bring your fishing pole to access lake from shore or on a boat. Lack of fishing pressure should ensure a good time. There are a couple of creeks thg that the kids can explore with frogs and interesting rocks. They are small enough to be safe, but big enough to support creatures. The camp is 2k+ acres and adjoins a wildlife preserve. This provides seclusion and provides wildlife viewing opportunities. The cabins were great...for kids. The mattresses were uncomfortable for adults, but no complaints from the kids. That may have been due to the multiple activities they experienced during the day encouraged on by an enthusiastic camp staff. Besides the bread and butter summer camps, they do retreats for different groups that can be tailored to their needs. Scout campouts, corporate retreats, special needs retreats, family reunions and weekend campouts are all on the menu. Cellphone service is marginal, but they have wifi throughout the cabin and dining hall.

I came up to Camp Harrison for the Charlotte YMCA's Women's Wellness Weekend. Not sure exactly what…read moreto expect I was pleasantly surprised with the gorgeous facilities, endless activities and all around low key vibe. Whenever you put together mass amounts of women in a defined space, this have the potential of getting a wee bit crazy. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the camp ground, the bonfires and generally laying low for a few days with a handful of my favorite girlfriends. Some of my fave activities... -Morning yoga -Zip line, Jacob's Ladder & climbing wall -Hiking the trail to the gorgeous overlook (yes, it's worth it) -Friendly dude ranch with precious horses -Zumba (praying there are no cameras filming my athletically induced dance moves) The camp is only 1.5 hours from Charlotte and it's a great getaway for ladies, families and kids. You'll find tranquil campgrounds complete with teepees, plenty of activities, pool, lakes, nicely appointed cabins with private bathrooms & shower stalls and a stunning view. The staff are incredibly sweetl and the food is spot on. If you're considering a weekend trip to the mountains, a corporate retreat or a camp for your kiddos, definitely check out Camp Harrison!

One can buy ice cream and sundae's with ice cream made close by with all the toppings imaginable. They also serve coffee and drinks in the morning as well. The staff are awesome and very knowledgeable about offerings and history of place. The other half of the barn is used as a store to showcase and sell local products and makings from vendors. The upstairs in the barn is used for games and seating area for relaxing. Outside the barn on the west side is several yard games for kids and adults alike for entertainment. They sell several plants and flowers seasonally as well out back of the barn. Out back and beside the barn is animal pins along with feeders one can purchase pellets for ducks, chickens and goats to eat. All the animals on the farm are rescues from unwanted homes. This is a great place for kids or to hang out and relax within the company of animals. Also a great place for date night young and old. This is a fun stop on a day trip or nice evening under the stars with ice cream.

Second, they have lots of different sizes and shapes of heavy things that they let you pick up and put back down again.
