Camp Activities

Each camper chooses five activities to attend regularly unless a trip or extended activity occurs, such as a three-day hike, a canoe trip, or a morning spent rock climbing. Our emphasis in each activity is on safety awareness, skills development, and fun.

Although competitive fun is a part of High Rocks in such activities as tennis and soccer, competition is not used as a motivator and is not emphasized in the learning process. The test of a camp is its success with individual children, and here success is available as a result of individual effort, not as a result of being better than someone else. We give no ribbons or medals for such titles as "best camper" or "best rider." Instead, we reward an individual's effort and skill progression with more challenging and exciting experiences within the activity.
