Our Programs

Being a camper at High Meadows is like being part of a storybook. Our programs include a variety of experiences based on themes inspired by early American pioneering, Native American Lore, even Medieval legends.

Our campers move about our campus using the woods, fields, gardens, and trails as their palette for explorations. We have an abudance of thoughtful activities that include physical recreation, quiet time for reflection, creative expression, exploration of the natural surroundings, and social experiences.

Our campers are encouraged to try new things, learn new skills, and develop old skills. We want our campers to play, get dirty, make friends, and discover themselves as a member of our camp community.

Our campers go home tired, dirty, happy, and inspired!
