Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Camp Academy, also known as Camp Forest, is a historic building located in Leicester, Buncombe County, North Carolina.

Built in 1896/7 with funds collected by the local Methodist Episcopal community, it stands on a low ridge on New Leicester Highway at the southeast edge of the former Turkey Creek Meeting Campground, a famous revival campground meeting site which existed from the late 1700s until 1893.

The 4800 sq. ft. two-story, five-bay, vernacular Colonial Revival style brick building served the community as a private academy and teacher training institute from 1897 until 1913 when publicly funded education came to this section of Buncombe County. It later became an apartment house, and after 1983 a medical clinic. It operated as the Camp Forest hotel in the 1920s. It is the last remaining tuition academy building in the county.[1]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[2]
