Check out this cute photo we received this week from a couple of campers in Birmingham! The caption read “A little early but we miss camp!”

Check out our new video! This 10 minute video tells you all about Camp Skyline. See how we enrich young girls in God, relationships, and self!

Folks in the camping industry have known for years that two weeks at summer camp were not just about having fun. Camps provides “fun that means something too” as Bob Ditter calls it (Bob Ditter is a Child Psychologist and friend of Camp Skyline.) Sending your child to camp can prepare her for college in a way that school will not.

I believe this scene is from a Counselor Hunt Night circa 2004. There sure are some goodies in this picture! I hope these old counselors are doing well!

Hello Camp Skyline friends! I hope y’all are having a WONDERFUL Christmas season! I don’t know about you, but I’m such a sucker for this time of year and all things Christmas. With that said, Wendy and I jumped at the opportunity to get a Skyline float together for the Valley Head Christmas parade that took place on Saturday. (Valley Head is the little town at the foot of Lookout Mountain – 5 minutes away from Mentone.) We rallied the Skyline crew in the area and decked the camp flatbed truck and had a blast riding through town throwing candy at the spectators. We were so impressed with the parade turnout – there were Christmas clowns on huge bicycles, equestrians, a precious 6 year old Mary and Joseph, all the emergency vehicles in the area, and even a town dump truck “float”! A huge thank you goes to awesome campers Sammi and Isabellle Goggans and Madden Ragan, camp alumnae Spooks and Ms. Barbara, and Paige, who helps out in the office, for riding with us. And of course Avery and her cousins were there too to make the float extra cute. Merry Christmas, y’all!

Many of our current Skyline families give their daughters or granddaughters the gift of camp for Christmas. We think this is a wonderful idea that lasts much longer than the latest toy craze. Please take a minute to read the latest article from the American Camp Association about giving the gift of camp.

You go girls! You rock those matching Tshirts!
