Asbury Hills Methodist Camp
Asbury Hills Methodist Camp is located just north of Pickens, on US 276, known as the Brevard Highway. Grace has had close ties to this camp by sending campers, counselors and working on camp improvements throughout the years. The camp just completed a renovation and new construction phase in the spring and summer of 2009. The Methodist Men of Grace helped to assemble nearly 80 bunkbeds.
On June 7 there was a dedication and grand reopening of the
new facilities.
