Campers finishing 1st grade through high school participate in creative, engaging, and diverse programs based on scripture, liturgy, environmental education, and conservation designed by clergy and staff. Counselors provide opportunities for the campers to have fun and learn through traditional and nontraditional sports and games, boating, fishing, sailing, hiking, arts & crafts, singing, storytelling, worship, and much more.

Most sessions run from Sunday to Friday afternoon, with a half-week session offered for our youngest campers. Campers may choose to “bridge” from one session to another for a longer camp experience. This experience can be added during registration.

Traditional Camp

CHOS focuses on learning, living, traveling, and experiencing God’s majesty  in a backcountry setting.  Participants will learn through hands-on experience planning routes, food rationing, map reading, Leave-No-Trace ethics, and expedition management. Using lightweight equipment and backpacking skills, you will experience the incredible Smoky Mountains that create the scenic backdrop for Camp Henry. 

Sessions are available for middle and high schoolers and are usually one week, with an extended “CHOS Amplified” version available even more adventure.

Camp Henry Outdoor School (CHOS)

LAMP is a ten day session for 10th-12th graders, with the option to sign up for a free extra week of LAMP + after completing a full LAMP session during the same summer.  LAMPers develop leadership skills, engage with the community through service, and go on exciting adventures, like whitewater rafting. LAMP is meant to help older campers discern whether they would like to one day apply for Camp Henry staff, while still allowing them an action packed camp experience!

Leadership, Adventure, and Mission Program (LAMP)

Service Camp is a session for high school aged campers that is modeled after a traditional camp session, with a program that focuses on service and a slightly altered schedule. On the first night of camp, campers will meet the chaplain and team leaders and choose from an array of service projects that they will work on each morning. Instead of typical morning programming, campers will work with their small group and team leader to complete their service project and build community. After Lunch activities will follow our traditional camp schedule. At the end of the week there will be a “tour of projects”, where campers can showcase their hard work with their group.
