been deeply committed to our families and our mission. We work hard to ensure the safest, most meaningful, and most exciting summer camp experience through our personal attention to every camper, our love for each camper and through our caring and competent staff. We believe that the right summer camp experience can be a defining and formative experience in a young life. Camp Highlander is all about making memories, fostering lifelong friendships, and creating more confident and capable children in a kind, nurturing and welcoming community. Our goal is to create a long-term partnership with your family to help you raise a caring and independent young person equipped with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.
An intentional and sound philosophy is behind everything we do at camp. Each 10 person cabin unit is arranged by birth gender, age and grade so everyone is able to maximize friendships and fun. Our campers are treated as unique individuals and we work extremely hard to make sure no one falls between the cracks. Every camper is a valued and important member of our community and we look forward to building a long term relationship with your family. It begins with an emphasis on inclusivity and kindness, parents and campers can feel a unique sense of community the moment they arrive. And because kids learn better when they are relaxed and having fun, we make sure that they are growing in ways and developing new skills more effectively than they could at home, in school, or through organized sports. Using fun and outdoor adventure as our delivery system, we focus on the Camp Highlander Core Values: COURAGE (Dare to Be Brave), HONESTY (Speak Truth in Love), INTEGRITY (Respect Yourself, Others and Nature), and FAITH (Seek Truth and Believe).
