Under Christian leadership and in a closely controlled environment, Rockmont seeks to provide each camper with fun and adventure through appropriate challenges; a better understanding and respect for self and others through group living and shared experiences; an appreciation and concern for the environment; greater self-reliance, self-respect, self-confidence, and self-esteem; stronger Christian values; and a greater understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Every summer, Rockmont serves over 1,400 boys from all over the U.S. and many countries. For more information on one of the nation's most highly reputable Christian summer camps for boys see the website. You enter down a tree-shaded lane onto the ground of Camp Rockmont and first look out across Lake Eden to the Black Mountains in the near distance. Rockmont is a place of adventure and thrills, a place for new peaks of achievement, a place of endless friendships and caring, a place to discover the joys of youth. They invite you to call of visit and are proud of their camping heritage... past and present. You can look closely and discover for yourself why a large majority of our campers return each year.The Ranger program evolved from a desire to be further challenged by the natural environment around Rockmont. It is designed for the older campers who seeks high adventure. The program is limited to thirteen boys per session, lending itself to valuable lessons in camaraderie, teamwork and perseverance. Excursions from base camp will include, but are not limited to, hiking some of the country's most scenic wilderness areas, day-long mountain bike treks, whitewater rafting, waterskiing, caving, and rock climbing. www.rockmont.com
