**If you are registering a Day Camper who is eligible for the sibling discount, please note that due to some technical difficulties the $25 discount will probably have to be applied manually by Highland staff. If the discount does not appear on your account at the time of registration, please wait until you receive your confirmation email from the registrar and check that invoice to verify that the sibling discount has been applied correctly. 

The day camp experience is designed to give younger campers the chance to experience a wide range of Highland activities, including a daily Bible lesson and worship time, a variety of outdoor activities (swimming, creek time, games, etc.), and lunch over a campfire. A morning and afternoon snack will also be provided by the camp. 

An optional Wednesday night sleepover is available; campers who sign up for this will spend Wednesday night in a cabin under the supervision of two counselors. There will be an additional  fee for campers who wish to participate in the sleepover. You can opt in to the sleepover when registering your child, or let us know no later than Tuesday of Day Camp week if your child wants to participate in the sleepover.

Camper Groups – Because Day Camp serves a wide age range, campers will be grouped by similar ages for daily activities. In order to avoid disappointment or confusion, please inform your child that he or she will be grouped with other campers by age (ages 7 and 8 together, and ages 9 to 12 together). Note: If your camper wants to be in the same group as a friend who is within a year of their age, but is in the other age group (i.e. a pair of campers who are 8 and 9), please make sure to mention it to our staff at the time you are registering so we can account for that in our camper group math (there are different camper-to-staff ratios for the two age groups). We’ll do our best, but may not be able to accommodate this type of cabin mate request if it is brought to our attention too late.

Bus Transportation – We will likely have a bus transportation option for Day Camp again this year. More info to come as we work those details out.
