As Week 4 came to an end, so did Summer 2026.

Week 4 had the most campers of the summer, which was such a fun way to end it! We are so sad that the summer is over, but so thankful for all of the campers, staff, volunteers, and families who made it so special.

This summer went by way too fast, and we already miss it. Thank you for such an amazing Summer 2026. We’ll see you next year! 💚

We are so thankful for our Week 4 Chaplain, Joshua King! It was so great having you back at Camp Alta Mons for your second summer. Thank you for leading worship, sharing your messages, and spending the week with our campers and staff.

Joshua serves as the pastor at Cave Spring United Methodist Church. Thank you for another great week at camp! We hope to see you back again next summer.

Week 3 definitely kept us on our toes!
Through every unexpected moment, our staff and campers made the best of it and continued making amazing camp memories. Our Tri-Challenge unit also had a successful trip!
It’s hard to believe there’s only one week left. We can’t wait to welcome our Week 4 campers in just a few hours! ☀️

Week 2 is through! 🏕️

Thank you to our campers, staff, and volunteers for another amazing week at camp. This week may have been a smaller one, but the joy was just as big!

We made the best of the heat wave with extra water fun at the pool, the creek, and the intersection. From an incredible Home in the Woods and an exciting Skit Night to fun-filled mealtimes, high ropes, games, and so much more, Week 2 was full of unforgettable memories.

Now onto Week 3 we go! 🌲 There’s still time to sign up for Weeks 3 and 4, and we’d love to have you join us. Visit the link in our bio to register. We hope to see you at Camp Alta Mons soon!

Week 1 is officially in the books! 🏕️❤️

We had such an incredible week with our campers. Even with so many kids running around, camp somehow felt peaceful. Everything clicked into place the moment our campers arrived on Sunday, and they made this week so incredibly special.

Now we’re counting down the hours until our Week 2 campers arrive tomorrow! We can’t wait to make even more memories this summer. 🌲✨
