The Purpose of our Summer Camp

As a member of the American Camp Association (ACA), Camp Highlander follows what ACA defines as the four areas of camper growth: mental, physical, social and spiritual. Thus it is Camp Highlander's creed to build boys and girls of honesty, courage, integrity and faith God intends them to be. Although we do not promote a particular religion, the values we uphold through our programs, through our traditions, and especially through our staff are values that everyone can identify with.

Honesty

Be yourself. Honesty builds trust. Trust is the foundation of our family. Be kind to others, honesty is shown in our actions not just words. Speak truth in love to your neighbor.

Courage

Courage is found within you and is realized through the support and love of those around you. Dare to be brave. Try new things. Stand by your friends.

Integrity

Be strong. Integrity builds confidence. Respect your peers, your elders and yourself. Lead by example. Win with integrity. Lose with integrity. Live a life of moral conviction, worthy of modeling.

Faith

Believe. Seek joy in your life. Never stop dreaming. Faith is the ability to receive, find and make meaning in or lives. Faith is being certain of what is not seen and sure of what we hope for…experience the magic of Camp Highlander.
