July Sessions Opening Day

July Sessions Opening Day It sure was a wonderful morning to welcome in all our July campers! I really enjoy visiting with parents and catching up with new and reutnring campers.  As the arrivals trickled down to just a few remaining campers who were flying, it was time to get up to lunch. The first… Continue reading July Sessions Opening Day

End Game and Final Campfire

End Game and Final Campfire I can’t believe it has been three weeks already! OK, just two weeks for a few folks. There was no rest today as we blasted out the last day of the session with gusto!  What an incredible group of young men.  We played hard, we laughed hard, we cried a… Continue reading End Game and Final Campfire

Upper Senior Dinner and Cabin Night

Upper Senior Dinner and Cabin Night It was another sunny at High Rocks!  The breeze kept it wonderful as the last of the trips were heading out this morning.  Boys headed over to the Nantahala River for paddling. The climbers took off to The Nose of Looking Glass Rock in Pisgah.  Mountain biking had morning… Continue reading Upper Senior Dinner and Cabin Night

Only Three Days Left

Only Three Days Left It was another great weather day at High Rocks!  Warm, sunny, with a fantastic breeze all day long!  The sailboats had a blast on the lake today!  If you do not see your son, it is likely he is out on a trip today.  We had several trips out the door… Continue reading Only Three Days Left

Upper Senior Challenge Sunday

Upper Senior Challenge Sunday It was another fantastic Sunday here at High Rocks!  After a much-needed sleep-in, the boys worked hard to get their laundry up to the lot before breakfast. We had a great meal including scratch-made cinnamon rolls, then headed down to the lake for our morning service.   Zoob led us in a… Continue reading Upper Senior Challenge Sunday

Square Dance Saturday

#image_title

Square Dance Saturday It sure is nice to have everyone back in camp on Saturday.  After a busy week of trips, there are some boys you have not seen for several days in a row. Most activities were running normally with a few added twists here and there. Climbing had “challenge day” where the guys… Continue reading Square Dance Saturday

Into The Weekend

Heading Into the Weekend It is the end of our second “work” week, though that doesn’t mean there was any knocking it off early for our camper crew this Friday! Yet another cool, clear morning with the bell ringing loud to get everyone moving. Breakfast was a southern affair of sausage biscuits, gravy, grits, berries/fruit,… Continue reading Into The Weekend

Community Takes All of Us

#image_title

Community Takes All of US It’s hard to believe that we have passed the halfway point already and only have nine days left of camp. Our second Waikiki Wednesday was quite delightful. I really enjoy the number of Hawaiian-style shirts that spread throughout the High Rocks community. It was the perfect outfit for a wonderful… Continue reading Community Takes All of Us

A Challenge Is a Good Thing

#image_title

A Challenge is a Good Thing It almost felt like camp was beginning the work week after such a relaxing Sunday.  It was a busy morning with rock climbing, canoeing, and hiking all eating early to get out of camp for an all-day or overnight adventure. We jumped right into assembly and activities as we… Continue reading A Challenge Is a Good Thing

Welcome June Mini Campers!

#image_title

Heading We love Sundays at High Rocks! They are typically a little more chill than the rest of the week.  We wake up a little later, and the morning is at a much slower pace. However, that slower pace does include getting our laundry up to breakfast in the morning.  It doesn’t sound like a… Continue reading Welcome June Mini Campers!

Saturdays Rock

#image_title

Saturdays Rock I love Saturdays at High Rocks!  In the 30 summers I have been here, there have always been pancakes on Saturday. It’s just what we do.  Our Chef Nate makes the recipe in one of those giant Hobart floor mixers and always uses real eggs and real buttermilk.  It does make a difference. … Continue reading Saturdays Rock

Fantastic Friday This morning was a gorgeous start to our first Friday of the session. While it is hard to believe that we are already heading into the weekend, the week has flown by in a way that only camp can do. Today promised that same bustling activity with our youngest cabin overnighters returning in… Continue reading A Fantastic Friday
