SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
Counselors, Work Crew, Adventure Staff, Program Staff, and Life-guarding positions available.

CAMP FACILITIES: Camp Highlander first opened its gates in 1957 and we’ve never looked back. That’s over six decades worth of life-changing summers! We have 34 beautiful cabins sprinkled out across Old Forge Mountain. The cabins are located in defined girls camp and boys camp areas of camp. Each cabin is equipped with two sinks, two toilets and two showers.

From opening day to final farewells, our campers enjoy so many exciting activities with their cabin unit that it’s hard for them to choose a favorite. Whether they are playing soccer on the land sports field, conquering the climbing wall, tubing down the Mills River, trying their hand at flint-knapping, or performing on stage during Highlander’s famous Evening Programs, our campers learn to accomplish their goals, discover new talents and, perhaps most importantly, work as a team – all while exploring the spectacular mountains of Western North Carolina.

As a cabin unit, campers participate in many adventures together both on and off-camp. Our cabin unit structure helps each camper feel comfortable enough to step outside their comfort zone and try new things. With their cabin mates and counselors by their side every step of the way, campers meet each challenge and triumph with unbridled encouragement, support and love. Our goal is that each camper would discover just how courageous they can be while enjoying a journey filled with personal achievements and unforgettable memories.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Camp Highlander, we believe God has instilled in each one of us a desire to love and be loved. This is the motivation behind our mission — we love because God first loved us.

Through this love, we seek to build boys and girls of courage, honesty, integrity and faith, and to help them become all that God intends them to be. In all we do, from the social structure of camp to our programming, from opening day to closing day, we seek to uphold, promote, teach and exemplify these four core values.

Courage: Dare to be Brave
Courage is found within you and is realized through the support and love of those around you. Dare to be brave. Try new things. Stand by your friends.

Honesty: Speak Truth in Love
Be yourself. Honesty builds trust. Trust is the foundation of our family. Be kind to others; honesty is shown in our actions, not just our words. Speak truth in love to your neighbor.

Integrity: Respect Yourself, Others and Nature
Be strong. Integrity builds confidence. Lead by example. Win with integrity. Lose with integrity. Live a life of moral conviction, worthy of modeling.

Faith: Seek Truth and Believe
Never stop dreaming. Faith is the ability to receive, find and make meaning in our lives. Faith is being certain of what is not seen and sure of what we hope for.

Parents can choose an 8 day experience (Kick Off Camp), 13 days (Sessions A or B) or 16 days (Session C). We also have Family Camp options to help children acclimate to the idea of camp.

We look for people that we believe would make strong, positive role models in the lives of our campers and be leaders and mentors within our small community.

The residential setting means that every choice you make will be observed and potentially replicated by the girls in your care. Do you feel that your behavior is role model worthy? We want counselors who are role models, but also not afraid to be silly and have fun! By applying to camp you are expressing an interest in helping children to develop in a caring, nurturing, and fun environment.

You will be giving up a great deal of privacy and comfort, working long and demanding hours, adhering to camp policies which you may find very limiting (curfews, time on, time off, lack of privacy, no smoking, no drinking alcohol, etc). We look for people who will not see this as a "setback" but rather as a "set up" for a great working environment.

If you believe that you have what it takes to lead and help shape the next generation of young women, then drop us a line or apply today.

CAMP FACILITIES: Our 12 log cabins sleep people bunk style. All have air conditioning, heat, showers, restrooms, ceiling fans and water fountains for your comfort.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Harrison's stunning wooded campus provides all the wide open space and clean mountain air kids need to clear their minds and relax their bodies. Over half their waking hours are spent outdoors, enjoying land activities in the mornings and lakefront and water activities in the afternoons. Outside activities exert the body and the mind so campers go to bed tired and happy - but not before a few giggles break out next to the glow of campfire!

YMCA Camp Harrison provides a variety of adrenaline-pumping activities like the ropes course, mountain boarding and archery. Sometimes these activities require multiple tries to master, prompting campers to face fears head-on. The satisfied grins, exuberant fist pumps and cheers of teammates at the finish line encourage kids to try their luck at something else, face new situations with confidence, and configure solutions based on past experiences. Kids discover their competence and character when faced with adversity, and there are few feelings more satisfying than getting better at something. If you can get "big air" on the zip line, then maybe introducing yourself to a new person isn't so scary!

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: For rising sophomores, the LIT experience is designed to teach leadership skills including communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution. These skills are taught through many activities from discussions and team building challenges, to speakers and hands-on leadership opportunities; all the while emphasizing the YMCA's core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.

Our CIT program is geared towards learning the leadership and supervisory skills it takes to be a future part of the Camp Harrison Counselor Staff. Through interaction in our cabins, leading devotions, team building projects, and teaching activities, these rising juniors get hands on experience on what it means to be a leader at Camp.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Financial Assistance is offered to those who qualify and can subsidize 20-80% of the cost of camp for someone in need. If you are in need of a camp scholarship, please complete the forms on our website at: Our Camp Website Link: www.campharrison.org

GROW Summer Camp offers a safe space where diverse young women (ages 14-16) come together to explore themselves and support one another in developing the courage and tools to become resilient when faced with adversity and life's challenges. Graduates will learn uniquely powerful meditation and breathing techniques, as well as tools to explore a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

These techniques bring an awareness to their lives, allowing them to manage stress in a healthy way, bringing confidence and self reliance. This will enable the young women to step into a empowered role in their own lives and in their communities.

CURRICULUM:

Our curriculum will focus on holistically nourishing the child and exploring boundaries outside of their comfort zone. In addition to providing participants with the YES! (Youth Empowerment Seminar) powerful breathing techniques and curriculum that uplifts human values and focuses on a healthy body, mind and lifestyle, we will bring awareness and open discussion for young women to explore issues they are currently facing in their own lives around body image, as well as social and societal pressures.

SELF ACTUALIZING ACTIVITIES:

ART: We explore self-expression through artistic mediums; painting and pottery making. We bring attention to the present moment and tap into a creative part of ourselves that allows for healing and a deep learning.

NATURE: We will hike through the woods and down the mountain to a waterfall, connecting with nature and taking in all it has to offer. We will have evening campfires and share stories about life lessons over smores, building camaraderie through deep personal and authentic connection.

MUSIC: The girls will compose lyrics to a camp theme song that portray the vision they have for themselves and the world. They will have an opportunity to perform this song at the end of camp for a live audience.

HEALTH/WELLNESS: We will have a portion of the curriculum dedicated to body awareness and healthy body/mind relationships; exploring healthy eating and how to take responsibility for our own health by preparing organic homemade food. We will take a trip to the garden and explore sustainability, growing our own food and how to cook healthily by harvesting our own vegetables and then preparing the food together with cooking lessons where the girls learn how to be confident and independent in the kitchen maintaining a health conscious awareness.

We succeed in our purpose: guiding campers to become emotionally, physically, and spiritually strong so they can meet the needs of this rapidly changing world.

It is a place where character counts and girls are celebrated for their individuality. It is a place where young women can gather without labels and challenge themselves to experience new and different things without the worry of judgment or ridicule from peers.

It is a place where character is demonstrated through healthy competition, hard-work and determination. It is a place where defeat is met with dignity and victory with grace.

It is a place where every girl has a voice and every voice is heard. It is a place where love exists unconditionally and encouragement is second-nature.

It is THE PLACE where your daughter will find her true self and will cherish forever.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Camp Pinnacle, our small, personal size and carefully designed program means that in just two weeks your child can accomplish more than you ever expected! But first, Camp Pinnacle is all about fun and friends. Kids have an absolute blast here, but while they are having the time of their life, something else is happening. We are helping you raise a caring, confident, and independent child equipped with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.

We begin by escaping the digital age and replacing it with a stunning mountain campus where a child finds adventure and new friends around every corner. At camp, children can try over 30 exciting activities. Then we add our age-appropriate Venture Programs where every camper gets out of camp and explores the incredible mountain scenery of western North Carolina. There is so much to see and do and so much fun to have, that kids rarely even miss home... or their electronics.
