Girls in Birmingham ages 7-15 in search of a unique, uplifting summer experience should look no farther than Camp Hollymont for Girls, nestled in the beautiful Appalachian mountains in Rabun Gap, Georgia.
Founded in 1983, Hollymont is a Christian camp with a friendly, uplifting atmosphere and is only a four-hour drive from Birmingham.
“Campers grow socially, physically and spiritually, all while gaining self-confidence, building lasting friendships and having lots of fun,” says Missy McKibbens Roper, Hollymont’s executive director and Mountain Brook resident.
Located on the campus of the prestigious Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, Hollymont enjoys first-class amenities, including an indoor pool, sports fields and a six-acre lake, as well as cheer, tumbling and dance studios.
The campus boasts first-class performing arts facilities, including a proscenium stage, and campers can enjoy art classes, including a new sculpture class this season.
Campers can play sports, including tennis, soccer and softball, and Hollymont offers off-campus adventures, including hiking, camping and rafting.
The camp’s inspiring Christian focus includes Sunday Chapel, as well as songs and skits at Morning Watch and Bible stories and prayer at Evening Devotion.
In addition, Hollymont’s college-age counselors “are awesome role models, and they show what it means to be a Christian in everything they do,” Roper says.
Hollymont has a seven-week camping season in June and July. Traditional sessions for girls ages 7-15 are two weeks. Hollymont also offers a starter camp for girls ages 7-9 and a mother-daughter weekend.
