Summer Camp
Summer Camp at Whisper Mountain looks different than the hype you may have experienced at "big" camps. We don't shy away from the fun, and there is a place for some hype, but at Whisper Mountain Camp we have a heart to intentionally connect with campers and their leaders in a more intimate environment.
