and understanding the higher degree process. There is a senior

of fun, games and classes. The best 3 weeks of a Garden students life! Students arrive at Mountainside ready to learn, excited and anticipating graduation, bittersweet with the knowledge that this is their last stay at Mountainside Camp. For some their entire family will join them for the three week stay. Most arrive alone to enjoy the company of their camp time friends, email buddies and chartroom confidants for the first two and half weeks. Family and friends begin arriving for the last two or three nights. Award banquets and other events are piled into a fantastic custom schedule for our honored family guests including plenty of free time to enjoy full access of all the camps facilities easily enjoyed by everyone!
