Wash House grooming

Go home clean, not campy.

Our groomers work right inside Main Camp, so your dog can get a bath between Field Day and pick-up with no separate appointment and no extra drive.

  • Go-Home Bath from $35: shampoo, blow-dry, brush-out and a pine-scented spritz
  • Full groom from $65: bath, haircut, nails and ears
  • Nail trim $15, any camp day

Boarding guests can add a Go-Home Bath on their last day, so they come home smelling like a forest, not like a sleepover.

Skill Sessions · $25

Fifteen minutes, one on one.

A certified trainer pulls your dog from group play for a focused, reward-based training session during the camp day. Pick a goal and we'll send notes and a short video home.

  • Manners: polite greetings, sit-stay, settle on a mat
  • Leash walking on the camp loop
  • Recall across Field Day Field
  • Confidence building for shy campers

Skill Sessions are how most dogs earn their Skills merit badges. See the badges.

CAMP BARKLEY
Camp Bus · $12 each way

The Camp Bus comes to you.

The Camp Bus is an air-conditioned van with secured crates, driven by a counselor. It picks up campers within 8 miles of Main Camp on two morning routes and brings them home on two evening routes.

  • Morning pickups 7:00 to 9:00am
  • Evening drop-offs 4:30 to 6:30pm
  • A text when the bus is 10 minutes away

Field Trips · $45

Small-group hikes on real trails.

Four well-matched campers, one guide and a few miles of local trail. Field Trips run Tuesday and Thursday mornings on dog-friendly routes around Asheville, and every hiker comes back muddy, happy and ready for Rest Hour.

  • Groups of four, matched by pace
  • Long lines, water, snacks and a first-aid kit
  • Three hikes earns the Field Trip Explorer badge

Available to campers who have attended at least five camp days.
