Thank you Lord for Alpine

Alpine is the most special place in the world to me. I camped there for several summers growing up, have worked in the kitchen, and have been on staff as a counselor. My successes in college can be largely attributed to the way Alpine nurtures, affirms, challenges, and loves its campers and employees. Alpine has affected the lives of many of my dearest friends, and has changed mine over the course of the last few years. There is no better place to spend a summer or to send your children. My parents sent me and both of my brothers to Alpine and have said it is the best money they ever spent on us. There is no better place for a young boy to grow in their faith and independence than at Alpine. Boys can be boys for a whole month in one of the most beautiful places in the country. I am forever indebted to my counselors as a camper and for the whole Alpine family for teaching me what it means to be a Godly man, and for serving as the prominent catalyst in my maturation.

Our son went to Alpine for the first time this summer. He didn't know any other boys there and so we were a little nervous. That said, he may have had his best month ever. He still can't stop talking about it. As soon as the T-shirts come out of the dryer, he's putting them on again. The activities were great but the staff, especially his counselors, made the biggest difference. They were fun, encouraging and seemed to model well much of what it means to be a Christian.

My parents sent me to Alpine after I had attended several other camps. Alpine had a good reputation and my parents wanted me to be in a positive atmosphere where I could learn and have fun.
Alpine could not have been a better experience for me in the five summers that I was a camper. The counselors were encouraging and took a personal interest in me. The activities were well planned - there was a mix of sporty activities (football, basketball, kickball, tennis, etc.) and non-sporty activities (horseback, crafts, guitar, etc.) so that each camper regardless of his ability can find something that he enjoys. Also, Alpine was very balanced atmosphere of teaching campers about the Christian faith more through action but also through words. I admired my counselors and their faith - and I learned more through their positive example than through any other means.
(And, by the way, the food is excellent.)
I got married 5 months ago and we do not yet have children, but I have already spoken with my wife about saving for Alpine if we ever have a boy. I hope I get a chance to send my son to Alpine one day.response / report this review -

I went to this camp as a kid. It offers the usual canoeing, archery, crafts activities. The main theme of this camp, however, is indoctrination into the Christian faith. We had to pray about 12 times daily and sing religious songs. Activities suspected of conflicting with Christianity where forbidden - my age saw the outlawing of Dungeons & Dragons, I'm not sure what is being forbidden these days. This is a good camp for Jesus Freak parents (you know who you are) who want to continue the ole indoctrination routine. If you are even the least bit secular, believe in religious tolerance, or don't want your son frothed up in a religious fervor, you should look elsewhere in your quest to get rid of junior for the summer. Good Luck
