Camp Program

High Meadows Camp is a summer day camp for girls and boys ages from pre-school through eighth grade. We offer campers a variety of experiences, each of them pointing toward the goal of self-discovery and expansion 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 therefore, never on keeping score or bettering someone else.
