Questions?
Climb High is for the 4th–6th grader who’s ready to discover just how capable they really are. This week takes climbing seriously — from our indoor climbing wall to the on-site challenge tower to a trip to a local high ropes course, campers progressively build confidence, problem-solving skills, and the kind of courage that comes from doing something that may scare them at first.
But the climbing is really just the beginning. Each ascent happens within a community of peers and counselors who cheer each other on, celebrate every step forward, and make it safe to try — and try again. That spirit carries through the whole week, into the pool, the craft lodge, and every activity campers participate in along the way.
Kids come home from this program standing a little taller — not just because they scaled a wall or navigated a ropes course, but because they found out what they’re made of. That’s the Climb High experience. Campers are housed in cabins.

A few things you may be wondering.
Here are a few answers to help you feel confident before you register.
Is this the right week for my camper?
If your camper sits right on the edge of this week's grades, call us at 828-209-6302 before you decide. A year either way can matter more than the number on the page, and we'd rather talk it through with you than have you guess.
And if the bigger question is whether they'll make friends, ask us that too.
What if we can't afford it?
Then tell us, and we'll work it out with you.
You choose one of three price tiers, and the tier you choose stays between you and us. Every camper gets the same week, whichever tier you pick.
If Tier I is still out of reach, there are scholarship funds for families in that spot, and our registration office can set up a payment plan.
A $175 deposit holds your camper's place when you register.
Can my camper call home?
Phones and other devices stay home at summer camp, and campers don't usually call home while they're here.
If you need to reach your camper, call the office at 828-209-6302.
What do we need to turn in before camp?
Every form is completed online in CampWise when you register, including your camper's health information and the waiver. There's nothing to download or mail.
The week you register is the easiest time to finish them.
Who's looking after my camper?
Counselors who live in the cabin with them. Every counselor has a background check before their first day.
Do you have to be Lutheran to come?
No. We're a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and we welcome everyone the way God welcomes everyone, whatever your background, your family or your circumstances.
