2026 Camp High Rocks Summer Open The 2026 High Rocks Camp season was off to a great start this morning! I had so much fun welcoming our June Campers!

Even for the staff today, we all felt a little excited/nervous as it was opening day for all… Continue reading 2026 Camp High Rocks Kick-Off
The “CT” Bridge There are many structures at Camp High Rocks that bring back fond memories of our time while we were once campers or staff. For most of the boys, their cabins are some of the most lasting memories of their experience. The CT Bridge is a small, unremarkable structure that few think about… Continue reading The “CT” Bridge
We’re especially proud to honor our own veterans, founder Sumner McBee Williams Jr. and his father. Read their story.
Best of Times 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… Continue reading The Best of Times
Waikiki Wednesday 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… Continue reading Waikiki Wednesday
Welcome Junior Campers It was so great to meet everyone today. I want to thank all the parents for putting on a brave face during those morning showers.

It’s All About the Journey It sure was a busy Monday! We had several trips out the door this morning. Even our rock climbing trip headed out to do some rappelling while the wet rock was going to be too much of a challenge. Mountain biking hit the trails. Canoeing enjoyed the river at a… Continue reading It’s The Grit That Counts
Carnival Sunday 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 almost made you want to sleep in . A cool 60 degrees out there today. Although I still woke up early, it… Continue reading Carnival Sunday
Saturday Fun Day For as long as I have been here, we have had pancakes on Saturday. Throughout High Rocks’ history, there was a time that the director himself would cook pancakes on Saturday since our head cook was off that morning. I tried that for a while, but the program has become much larger… Continue reading Saturday Fun Day
