HighPeakCamp

Welcome to The Salvation Army's
High Peak Camp!

Camp! So much to discover!

Long hot summer days, a dip in the pool, star-filled nights, camp fires,
roasted marshmallows, pillow fights, cabin devotions, emblem work, seeing
old friends, making new ones. Expanding horizons and creating memories.

That's what camp is about. For more than 100 years, The Salvation Army has
recognized the value of camping. It has witnessed the difference it can make
in people's lives. For an underprivileged child who's only known city
concrete, the blare of car horns and whirl of mass transit, it opens a whole
new world.

There are camps where kids learn the basics of playing a musical instrument
and camps where advanced musicians refine their craft. Teen camps feature
organized activities, interesting programs and classes addressing life issues
to help them navigate through challenging years. Children who participate in
The Salvation Army's character-building ministries in their own hometowns
come to camp to learn new skills and increase their knowledge while having
fun earning badges.

There are more than 50 Salvation Army camps throughout the United States.
Each one is unique to its geographical area, but they meet high standards in
housing, nutrition and safety according to the Christian Camping Association
or the American Camping Association. Salvation Army camps are attended by
more than 100,000 people of all ages, races and socioeconomic levels each
year. The camps are conducted by a competent staff of dedicated Christians
who serve together throughout the summer and are committed to making the
camping experience special for each individual.

As in all of its programs, The Salvation Army views camping holistically, a
ministry that addresses the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of
people. After camp The Salvation Army continues its care for individuals and
families at the local level primarily through its corps community centers.

The variety of camps is amazing, but they all provide a gorgeous setting, a
caring environment and activities that enrich life. Whether learning to swim,
baiting a hook for the first time or discovering new wonders while hiking a
nature trail, learning is a big part of the camp experience. Along the way
many learn something even more wonderful. They learn about
themselves—how very special they are. And in the process they gain
self-confidence, enthusiasm and courage. They also learn about community.
They begin to understand the importance of working together for a common
good, pulling together for something bigger than themselves. And they learn
about God and the difference He can make in their lives and in their world.

There's a great big world out there just waiting to be discovered! Camp is a
great place to start.
