Mountain Wisdom Camp | Young Men and Womens Summer Camp

Director’s Message, Spring 2021

We have so much gratitude that the pandemic in Ga. has subsided. Businesses have reopened and people are active enjoying the beautiful Springtime.

Our Mountain Wisdom team is at full throttle, planning, preparing and reaching out into our communities to offer our unique wilderness camp.

The first weekend in May, we had a staff training weekend at Tri-Mountain Retreat. Our incredibly beautiful new site for camp. We are all very excited about what we are creating and the gifts the participants will receive from their camp experience.

Registration online is in full swing. We have several registrations. We have several graduates that are returning and could not be happier to be coming back to reconnect with friends, staff, have fun and to continue their journey into young adulthood. Register you youth now! Who do you know that you want to make sure is at our June camps? Now is the time, this is the place.

Several weeks in April we invited parents and those interested to join us on Zoom, Facebook Live for Q&A and more inf. about our camps. Go to Mountain Wisdom Camps Facebook to watch recordings.

There are many ways to support and be a part of our Mountain Wisdom family. Please contact us to find out more.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Find Your Sense Of Purpose

And Have Fun Achieving Your Full Potential

What We Do

Young people today struggle with feelings of frustration and anxiety as they try to find their place in life. Our modern culture of technology often disconnects them from the world, resulting in feelings of isolation, lethargy and depression. Unfortunately, more and more teens are turning to drugs and alcohol to relieve these feelings.

Many young people are living lives of complete nature deprivation. We believe that the benefits of connecting to the natural world include stress reduction, a sense of belonging, improved self-confidence and self-discipline, a broader sense of community, and possibly a sense of spirituality - an appreciation for powers larger than oneself.

We believe that the wilderness is a fun and inspirational classroom. Operating in a setting without electronics enables campers to slow down and develop concentration and focus, bringing them closer in touch with the natural world while having a wonderful time.

Since 2003, we have been privileged to provide teens with a safe and enjoyable experience in an environment where they learn a greater respect for themselves, their peers and the world of nature. And we have been honored to be part of countless treasured memories.

Testimonials

As a Licensed Psychologist, I have heard nothing but positive responses from the young men whom I have referred to the Mountain Wisdom Camps. The parents report numerous benefits gleaned from their sons participation. They are more reflective and considerate of others, willing to help around the house, and have a greater sense of direction in life.

In my private practice, I serve very few young ladies who see themselves as strong independent young women. The Girls Camp provides a maturational jump where they come away from the experience with a leap in self-confidence and connectedness with others beyond physical appearances and popularity. They are more centered and calm from having found themselves, as evolving young women.

The research into nature-based therapy is substantial and uniformly positive, and these programs are inexpensive, time-limited, well-organized, and have an excellent, well-trained, staff. You will not find a better, more professional and caring camp, with so many benefits offered than the Mountain Wisdom Camps.
