AICL Summer Enrichment Camp

If you're looking for a summer camp that sparks curiosity, celebrates individuality, and fosters a sense of belonging, the AICL Summer Enrichment Camp is the perfect fit. Held at Mars Hill University, just north of Asheville, North Carolina, this camp offers an enriching experience for kids and teens aged 8–18. With two week-long sessions campers can choose to attend as residential or day participants. At AICL, every camper is welcomed into a vibrant community where they can explore their interests and try new things.

The camp’s diverse lineup of workshops is nothing short of extraordinary. From Synthesizers and Backyard Apothecary to Korean Folk Art, Dinosaurs, Puppetry, and even Guerilla Filmmaking, there’s something to ignite every imagination. Expert facilitators guide these hands-on activities, ensuring campers not only learn but also have a blast doing it. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Afternoons and evenings are filled with group activities that emphasize self-acceptance, connection, and laughter. Whether it’s crafting a Viking saga or participating in a camp-wide game show, every moment is designed to inspire joy and camaraderie.

What truly sets AICL apart is its inclusive atmosphere. The staff—many of whom are former campers—are deeply committed to nurturing curiosity and creating a space where everyone feels they belong. It’s a place where being “a little different” is celebrated, and lifelong friendships are forged. Located in the picturesque setting of Mars Hill University, campers also get to enjoy the beauty of North Carolina’s mountains while engaging in enriching activities. Whether your child is an aspiring artist, scientist, or storyteller—or simply looking for a place to grow and have fun—AICL offers an unforgettable summer experience. This isn’t just a camp; it’s a transformative journey where curiosity thrives, creativity blooms, and memories are made to last a lifetime.
