Mt. Side

Mountainside campers will experience a wilder side of camp.  Campers will sleep in platform pavilions on the mountain away from the main buildings of camp.  All meals will be cooked over a fire.  Campers will be placed in Family Groups and remain in these groups throughout the week.  Each day campers will trek down the mountain for a dip in the pool and a chance to take showers.

All mountainside camps are listed below in order of camper age – youngest to oldest.  Please read the descriptions as each age group experiences slightly different activities in addition to those just described.

REMINDER: Camper pick up is at 7 pm on FRIDAY.



Intermediate Mountainside
