 High
Meadows Summer Day Camp serves girls and boys from
pre-school through eighth grade. We offer campers a variety of
experiences, each of them pointing toward the goal of self-discovery
and enrichment in an atmosphere of fun.
In relaxed and noncompetitive situations, the camper is encouraged to branch
out into new areas to gain confidence and to strive for proficiency in those
areas in which he or she is already competent. The emphasis is always on personal
improvement and the satisfaction gained therefrom, not on keeping score or
bettering someone else.
High Meadows Camp was begun in 1973. Our camp is an accredited member of the
American Camp Association (ACA). Our 40 acres of forest and meadows are home
to many farm animals and include traditional camp facilities, including an instructional swimming pool. Campers spend the majority of time out of doors in active
and reflective nature-based programming. Enclosed shelter areas are available
for inclement weather.
 The
camp community consists of 120 staff members, the majority of
whom are teachers, college students and professionals in childcare
and
recreation. We welcome over 800 children each summer. Many
of our campers are transported by bus from pick-up stations
around the Atlanta north metro area. Each day, 300 children
and 80 staff members come to experience summer fun in a structured
recreational program focusing on self improvement, personal responsibility,
and environmental respect.
High Meadows
provides an environment where campers can participate in
both active and quiet out-of-door activities in a social atmosphere
where each feels loved and respected. We want to engender a sense
of adventure in a child's stay at camp. During activities, skills
are taught in a non-competitive way to ensure a feeling of personal
success. A strong emphasis is placed on the importance of others,
their feelings and property. Campers learn about and share in
respecting the natural environment.
