The personalized attention is particularly helpful for a first time camper with superior staff to camper ratios. My kids have all loved the food, the activities, and the camaraderie. They grew in confidence after their first summer and all of them asked to go back.

FAQ's
Want more information? Read our FAQ’s and contact us to speak with a Director. We would love to share more about our program with you.
Camp High Rocks is a relatively small summer camp with 165 campers and over 85 staff a session.
Our low camper to staff ratio of 3:1 allows for us to provide an optimal experience for each camper. Most of our staff are college-age or older, with a mixture of American and International staff. Many of our staff return summer after summer.
Each cabins has 5 to 7 boys. Most of the cabins have 6 campers. Each cabin has its own bathroom and shower.
As children mature at different paces, there are a few telltale signs if your son is ready. Read our 6 signs that your child is ready by clicking the link below. Start with taking a cue from your child. In many cases, they know if they are ready. Frequently, we speak with parents who are hesitant to send their son away to camp while their son is raring to go. If he is that excited about it, we recommend you take the opportunity to support his excitement for such an experience and realize that as a parent, sometimes we have to let go.
As parents ourselves, we have also had to work through the growing process. We have also seen the campers here grow so much in their self-esteem and confidence year after year. Numerous parents tell us every session that they are picking up a different child and can’t believe how grown up he is. Read our 6 Signs that your child is ready by clicking the link below.
First and foremost, it is important to know that some degree of homesickness occurs in nearly everyone who is leaving someplace familiar and trying someplace new and exciting. We encourage our boys to stay busy and have their counselor explain to them that it is a natural part of growing up. Knowing that homesickness is natural, we aim to meet it head-on. Counselors receive training prior to camp that focuses on supporting campers and working through homesickness as a team.
Homesickness rarely persists past the first few days of camp. If it does and your son is having difficulty adjusting to camp, we will certainly be in touch. Often an encouraging letter from home can do the trick. Parents are always welcome to contact our office as well. You can find more resources here.
