In the beginning, Camp Augusta was donated to the girls of Piedmont in 1931 by Mrs. E. W. Ehman in memory of her mother Augusta Collins. For the past 75+ years, as the camp has developed, it has been managed by a non-profit Piedmont organization. In the early years, the camp's main use was by the Piedmont Council of Camp fire. Virtually all the young Piedmont women spent their summers at the camp. Now, Camp Augusta provides a variety of programs for children, families, schools, youth groups, clubs and business groups. Camp Augusta is now an organization that serves both boys and girls from multiple communities, states, and countries.
In the recent past, our camp has enjoyed a variety of successes and improvements. Our Resident Summer Camp has a waiting list for sessions every summer. Multiple capital improvements have rendered our site not only more aesthetically pleasing, but extended our season as well. One of our major projects has been the restoration of Ehman Lodge, made possible by a grant from the Hoag Family Foundation. This project has not only established a new pride in our camp, but served as a symbol of the continued improvements of our camp and program in general.
