Session Descriptions
Two Weeks (Sessions Kickoff, A and B)
Ages 6 - 16
If you’re looking for a fantastic camp experience, one of our two-week sessions might just be the perfect fit!
Kickoff is the first of three multi-week sessions at Camp Highlander. Beginning just after the school year ends, campers are ready to get outdoors and just be a kid after the long school year. The weather is perfect in Kickoff camp and is the ideal way to start another unforgettable summer.
Session A is the second multi-week session at Camp Highlander. This robust session allows campers to participate in all of our on-camp activities, various off-camp trips, a cabin overnight and some of our most exciting evening programs!
Session B is identical to Kickoff and Session A in its programming and scheduling, but it also features our biggest party of the year … the Fourth of July! From our Stars & Stripes competition to our cookout on the field, we pull out all the stops to celebrate our nation’s birthday in spectacular fashion! We even conclude the festivities each year with our highly-anticipated annual fireworks show!
While off-camp activities such as whitewater rafting are limited during these mid-length sessions, Kickoff, A and B still provide the most incredible experiences for new campers and returning campers alike. Whether it’s your first taste of a multi-week session or you’re a seasoned veteran, our two-week sessions provide lifelong memories and friendships that will have you counting down the days until next summer!
2022 Kickoff: OPEN (June 5-June 17) - Cost: $4,100
2022 Session A: OPEN (June 19-July 1) - Cost: $4,100
2022 Session B: OPEN (July 3-July 15) - Cost: $4,100
Two and One Half Weeks (Session C - Super Session)
Ages 8 - 16
Session C is our longest and most intense session of the summer. It offers two and one half weeks of activities including various off-camp adventures, cabin overnights and our most electrifying evening programs! The most exciting highlight of Session C, however, is one of our oldest Camp Highlander traditions … Color War!
During the four-day, camp-wide competition that is Color War, all of camp (campers and counselors alike) is split between two teams (the Red Devils and the White Knights) to compete in a variety of events – from board games and dance routines to relay races and rope burning! With sporting events, educational events, arts events and more, every camper has a chance to participate, contribute and enjoy the fun!
