Welcome to Heart O' the Hills, a distinctive sanctuary brimming with the delights and customs of a traditional summer camp experience. This private girls' summer camp caters to young ladies aged 6-16 and is the pride and joy of the Ragsdale family who own and operate it with absolute dedication. We warmly extend an invitation to you to become part of this extraordinary environment, abundant with merriment, education, and the enchanting essence of youth-filled summers.
At Heart O' the Hills, we have meticulously designed our program with an emphasis on fostering personal growth and character development. Our mission is to empower girls with self-confidence, promote teamwork, and nurture leadership skills. Moreover, we strive to champion individuality, motivation, and resilience. We are more than just a summer camp; we are a nurturing community, dedicated to encouraging personal growth and development.
Our camp offers diverse 2- and 4-week overnight sessions, packed with over 50 instructional activities. We seamlessly blend traditional camp activities with unique ones, from English and western horseback riding, Red Cross swimming lessons, a variety of team and individual sports, to archery, riflery, tennis, cooking, fencing, rock climbing, video production, and wilderness survival. We take immense pride in our friendly, competitive Sisterhoods and uphold a strong tradition of etiquette. Heart O' the Hills is more than just a camp. It is a comprehensive experience that goes beyond outdoor fun and skills acquisition. We are a home away from home, a sisterhood.
Adventure activities feature sports that are more uncommon. Campers can learn how to shoot bows and arrows or rifles and shotguns, rock climb on our outdoor wall, or hike the hills surrounding camp.
