LAMP

Leadership, Adventure, Mission Program

LAMP is a two-week session for rising 10th-12th graders who want to develop leadership skills, engage with the community through service, and go on exciting adventures, like whitewater rafting. LAMP is a step up from the typical camper experience with unique off-campus opportunities and an introduction into leadership at Camp Henry and beyond.

Bridge

For select sessions, campers may “bridge” on the Saturday between sessions to create a longer camp experience. This can be added during registration. Bridgers go tubing on the Pigeon River, play games on the field and in the Boojum, and get to pick a movie for Movie Night!

We also have year-round camps for people and families of all ages. Check them out!
