MountainCamp – ASCENDERs

June 28, 2026 - July 24, 2026

Apply to be with us for our ASCENDER program this summer!

ASCENDERs get a unique experience while at MountainCamp. As this is a Leadership Experience, applications are required. Campers should be 16 – 17 years old (rising 10th – 12th graders).

Started in 1981, the ASCENDERs (All Summer Campers Exploring Nature’s Delights and Experiencing Recreation) program allows for older youth to give back to our camp and conference center through work study in each Mountain department, gaining experience in our larger community through volunteer work and enjoying nature’s splendor on the beautiful Highlands Plateau. The ASCENDER campers will begin their all-summer experience working with the ASCENDER mentor to learn about each department of The Mountain, discovering their passion and potential along the way.

Space is limited for ASCENDERS. Please submit an application as soon as possible. We will accept applicants on a rolling basis. Applicants may be contacted for a phone interview.
