Monday-Thursday,

9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Banker’s House is a beautiful and historic landmark in Shelby that has been “standing tall through it all” for nearly 150 years! This summer’s campers will learn about how this house and the many people who have lived there were not only resilient, but also positively used their talents and influence to make a positive impact on the community of Shelby.
The four-day camp sessions will include fun and engaging activities including arts, science experiments, tours of the local area and more! The theme of the camp will be “Standing Tall through it All” and campers will be encouraged to develop some resilience skills through fun and engaging activities that encourage students to interact with each other and the community.
Camp Counselor Heather Halbert is an Exceptional Children’s teacher in Shelby and has experience working with a wide variety of students. Her interests include writing, photography, and music.
*Boys and Girls Club members are eligible to attend at no cost!*
For all others the fee is $50/week which includes lunch and snacks.
The camp is held on the Banker’s House property at 319 N. Lafayette Street, Shelby, NC 28150.

“The Banker’s House Barn was an excellent venue for my daughter-in-law’s 50th birthday party. The space was more than enough for the 40+ guests that attended and the night was just magical. The venue coordinator was very helpful with information prior to and during the event. I can certainly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a great place for a special event and for great people to work with.”
-Linda J Howard
“As history and architecture are very important to us (as is preserving history), The Banker’s House and staff are an example of standards of carrying the responsibility of care, community education and maintenance of the home and its relevance to our local community. The guests loved the home, history and tour!”

“Beautiful House!! We were admiring the house and taking pictures when we had the opportunity of meeting (Executive Director Carolyn Jackson), and right away she started talking to us and she gave us a little background story of the house and the events they usually do there. She was really sweet and friendly with us. I would definitely recommend stopping by to see this house even from the outside"

And the people that work there will make sure you have everything you need and more for your event.... Our Rehearsal Dinner (was) held
