The Towers

In Fall 2013, Young Harris College opened The Towers, a LEED-certified unique housing community. Centered near the heart of campus, this facility is made up of three separate buildings connected through a shared central building.

The Towers are configured in “pods,” or small communities consisting of campers living in different sizes and styles of rooms surrounding a country-club-style bath area. It provides both living and spaces that encourage camper interaction and foster a sense of community. Each pod features large and inviting alcoves and lounges with comfortable sofas and 55" flat-screen televisions, providing campers with ample common areas to relax in between running sessions. These spaces within the building give camp counselors the opportunity to regularly interact with campers and ensure no one is allowed in the pods outside of camp staff and campers.
