Things to Do in the Area
There are many, many things to do in East Tennessee. From hiking, camping, biking, shopping, theme parks, horse back riding and lots more. We go over the things to do to the Kamp Kompanions during their lemonade social Monday morning. The Kamp Kompanions have always been a welcome group at The Acoustic Kamp.
Their numbers in attendance grows every year. The inspire us and allow us our interests and we all surely appreciate them. The Kompanions band together early in the week to see what their shared interests are. Starting in 2005 the Kamp Kompanions officially had Stage Time on the main stage to perform and best show some of their known and unknown talents.
We at Kamp Central try to show to the Kompanions all the finer points of interest in East Tennessee to help them spend their time. Donna Dixon also holds a Cookie and Lemonade Social for the Kompanion when the students begin their first class Monday morning. This meeting gets them together so they can buddy up and see what their common interests are and what they may want to do through the week.
We have a list of some of the things to do and places to see in the area. More will be added as time grows closer to Kamp.
