Time sure flies in just one week.  I know you are excited to see your boys, but it seems like they only arrived yesterday.  The boys wandered in this morning with a wonderful greasy, ashen, marshmallow look about them. I think I even saw a few specks of tomato sauce in the corners of their… Continue reading The Best Time Ever!

It was another fantastic day at High Rocks! The boys are still working hard to make it to breakfast on time, but that means they are working hard with their cabin clean-up. It was fun to see Windswept I get Cabin of the Day for the second time in a row. After an exciting assembly,… Continue reading Cabin Overnights

It is a true adventure here every day.  Some of the time just getting ready for the day is an adventure.  I enjoyed cruising through the cabins during clean-up time this morning. Many of the young guys are doing their best to just get their clothes on straight, let alone get the bed made and help… Continue reading Just Two Days Left

It sure was fun waking up to a whole new group of excited boys! I love the mornings up here on the mountain.  The nice cool air, and the calm.  Once that bell rings, it is off and running.  I queried some boys today.  They were up pretty early, some mentioned 6:30 am!  I am… Continue reading Wake Up With High Rocks!

I hope the drop-off was a smooth for you as it was for us! It was great to meet all of you this morning! We hope this is the first stop on a long adventure with High Rocks! What an awesome group of young men! They are so excited to be here! We headed into… Continue reading Welcome Junior Campers!

Time sure flies in just two weeks.  I know you are excited to see your boys, but it seems like they only arrived yesterday.  After a fun morning of some activity wrap-up, pony painting, and general excitement, we took a brief break to get packed before the big event of the day. We spent the rest… Continue reading The Time of Their Lives

Love the mornings at High Rocks! The cool mountain air as the sun comes up and a warm cup of coffee is pure magic.  I get up early and go to bed late.  I try to enjoy a moment or two on the deck at least once or twice a week.  This morning was a… Continue reading Wish Night

Another cool day on the mountain here at High Rocks.  It has been perfect “athletic” weather this week. I love the cool mountain air!  The low almost dipped into the 50s and the high today was maybe 70. It was fun to see some guys pull out their sweatshirts.  It sure was another fun day… Continue reading Best Day Yet!

What a great day! Our boys are in such a groove right now. I enjoy seeing the boys making their own adventures as they head to their activities. The boys loop back together during meals and rest hour to share their stories. Most of the boys remember their masks for the dining hall, but usually,… Continue reading Not Far Now!

The cool weather today was amazing! After a few warm days, it was a pleasant change for us!  The cool “athletic” weather is just what the boys needed. I am sure you have noticed a few pictures of the dogs around camp.  I think it’s funny how the boys want to know so much about… Continue reading We Can Do This!

So, Sundays at camp are always a little different.  We like to slow down a bit, think about the week we just completed, and ponder on the week ahead.  This morning was that kind of morning. The sun was coming up and there was a nice cool feel to the mountain air.  Just about perfect! … Continue reading Carnival Sunday
