WONDERFUL CAMP FOR BOYS! My oldest son went there and didn't know anyone. He had just finished 5th grade, and turned out to be one of best experiences of his life. He met some great boys, and gained so much confidence in himself, as well as maturity. Upon returning from Camp Highlands - he was a much stronger person! This has since served him well in high school. The Bachmann family has done an incredible job to keep the camp based on basic principles, they call them Camper Qualities and there are 16 of them: Character, Friendship, Leadership, Respect, Responsible, etc.... This is a camp camp - it's not a sports camp. They do plenty of sports, but they also do other fun activities like fishing, woodworking, etc... We've since send our other son there, and its been a good experience for him. It's a nice escape from the North Shore of Chicago. read more
