What to know about Camp Mount Michael

Activities

While you’re at Camp Mount Michael, you’ll stay in the Mount Michael Dorm where high school students live during the school year. You’ll be able to experience what life will be like in the future when you’re in high school or college. You’ll have the chance to try new activities you may not get to do at home very often. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to make new friends and experience what it’s like to be away from home. A lot of former campers still talk about their awesome summer adventures at Mount Michael. Some of the guys this year are returning for their sixth or even seventh summer!

There are so many sports and outdoor activities at camp you won’t know where to start. Participate in Olympic Day, play warball, learn to shoot archery and explore the hiking trails Mount Michael has to offer. We also take buses to the local pool throughout the week to cool off!
