Welcome June Mini Campers! We love Sundays at High Rocks! They are typically a little more chill than the rest of the week. We wake up a little later, and the morning is at a much slower pace. However, that slower pace does include getting our laundry up to breakfast in the morning. It doesn’t… Continue reading Welcome June Mini Campers
Saturdays Rock I love Saturdays at High Rocks! In the 30 summers I have been here, there have always been pancakes on Saturday. It’s just what we do. Our Chef Nate makes the recipe in one of those giant Hobart floor mixers and always uses real eggs and real buttermilk. It does make a difference. … Continue reading Saturdays Rock!
Jersday Thursday As I mentioned yesterday, today was going to be a themed jersey day alos know as Jersday Thursday! There were so many cool jerseys out there today!

The Adventure Begins I enjoyed hearing the first wake-up bell of the session ring this morning. In recent years it has been immediately followed by an energetic “GOOD MORNING HIGH ROCKS.” It’s been something of a modern tradition that has caught on over the years. The most excitable person lately has been Nate our Camp Chef… Continue reading The Adventure Begins

HeadingThe Best of Times Time sure flies in just one week. I know you are excited to see your boys, but it seems like they only arrived yesterday. The boys wandered in this morning with a wonderful greasy, ashen, marshmallow look about them. I think I even saw a few specks of tomato sauce in… Continue reading The Best of Times
Cabin Overnights It was another fantastic day at High Rocks! The boys are still working hard to make it to breakfast on time, but that means they are working hard with their cabin clean-up. There are two of us that do the cabin inspections for this session. Today’s inspections were a very tight race. Bay… Continue reading Cabin Overnights
It is a true adventure here every day. Some of the time just getting ready for the day is an adventure. I enjoyed cruising through the cabins during clean-up time this morning.
