Every day at Mountainside is different and each day is its own adventure. Campers will find themselves swimming one minute, shooting archery the next, and climbing our 50-foot rock wall all before lunch. We believe in giving our campers choices and provide them with a variety of unique experiences. Each week has its own special event that differentiates it from the others. One week campers might be divided into different colors to compete in Camp Olympics and another they might create model rockets for our own special Fourth of July celebration. These special events add flavor to each day and provide some of the most memorable moments at camp. Campers are grouped by their age and gender and we do our best to accommodate any requests to be placed with friends. Groups usually have between 12-19 campers and always have at least one Senior Counselor (18+ years old) and one Junior Counselor (16+ years old.) Additionally, our Leader in Training candidates are placed with groups in order to learn how to become great staff of the future. With nature as our playground, campers at Mountainside will conquer their fears on the ropes course, experience the natural world around them, be a part of the Mountainside community, and enjoy the greatest summer camp ever!
