The
MountainCamp community
is committed to providing meaningful, quality
experiences for all youth, and fulfilling
The Mountain’s mission to embrace
the diversity of life, creating an environment
to energize people to work for positive change.
For nearly 30 years, MountainCamp has fostered
belonging and acceptance and has allowed youth
to learn and grow together in an intentional
community. Each camper is treated with respect,
kindness and consideration, and celebrated
for his or her individual gifts. A balance
is maintained between establishing structure
and boundaries to keep youth safe and creating
opportunities for them to “test their
wings.” We are proud to carry
on that commitment to our youth and will continue
working towards making this world a better
place.
Beginning
Camp is the perfect way for our youngest
friends to be introduced to and fall in
love with camp! Because we keep the camper
numbers low, our counselors are able to
spend more one-on-one time with each participant.
Whether
you are new to the MountainCamp experience
or a “graduate” from our Beginning
Camp, the Elementary Camp session offers
exciting experiences for all who attend!
The
energy crackles all over The Mountain, with
hugs galore, lots of laughter, and exuberant
shouts of greeting as the youth arrive at
The Mountain for the first of our 2-week
sessions.
With
the experience of highly intensive trips
and workshops, Sr. High campers are given
the opportunity to challenge their bodies,
mind, and spirit. Hiking through the night
with the 24-Hour Experience, working on
our organic gardens, discussing the prejudices
and stereotypes we carry with us through
life, learning about environmental issues
and so much more allow our Sr. High youth
to expand their knowledge and understanding
in a safe and fun environment. 
Join
us for one of our most challenging and
rewarding sessions offered at MountainCamp.
As a Service & Adventure Camper,
you will spend the first week of the
session creating a team among your fellow
campers. Experience the Challenge Course,
learn how to “Set up Camp,”
practice hiking on numerous trails,
and make a difference to The Mountain
community by working on a service projects.
The second week of the program takes
place out on the trail – hiking
in the Blue Ridge Mountains, cooking
simple and delicious meals together
as a group, experiencing the beauty
of the stars and moonlight, practicing
“Leave No Trace” skills,
and much more! All SAP campers will
be staying at the base of our mountain
in one of our pavilions. Enjoy a community
of people that are learning new skills
together.
