ATIS High Peaks Camp

We sincerely regret that we were not able to have a camp in 2020.  As of late October, we are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to have a camp in 2021.
 
All 2020 campers are automatically enrolled in the 2021 running of the camp provided they notify us by November 1 that they are still interested/able to attend.  We will then go to the waiting list, but there may be some spots for new campers.  Thus, there is a link below to the 2021 application form.


The season starts with High Peaks Camp, which was inaugurated in 1965 and has been extremely popular ever since. Every year around the 19th of June, twenty boys and girls, along with their counselors and the cooks launch canoes on the Lower Lake and paddle up to the Upper Lake for two weeks of wilderness education and fun. In addition to day hikes, camping instruction, and swimming, the campers go on two 4 day trips: a backpacking trip over several of the "46ers", and a canoe trip on any of the many lakes and rivers in the region. One of the highlights is the final Banquet at which skits are performed, awards given out and much laughter is heard.
