About Camp Cole
The state-of-the-art, 40-acre campus is an expansive, free-flowing, natural landmark just outside Columbia, SC.
It features lush green spaces, nature trails, walking paths, a gazebo, a turf field, a 5-acre pond, and plenty of inviting indoor and outdoor spaces for campers and visitors to relax, play, grow, and shine.
Fully accessible and ADA-compliant, Camp Cole opened Phase One of their campus in June 2021 and Phase Two in May 2024.
Camp Cole opened the 20,000-square-foot Southeastern Freight Lines Activity Center in 2024 to provide more “Inside Magic” space for campers and groups during inclement weather. The Center includes a gymnasium, stage, movement studio, sensory gym, canteen, breakout rooms, staff break room, and two porches.
