Trash Can Band made its Alpine debut in the 4-week sessions last summer. We are thrilled to have Kelsey Cox, a snare drummer in the University of Georgia band, back this summer to continue teaching this popular new activity. Trash Can Band was so popular last summer, we decided to offer it to our 5th graders this year in Jr Camp. Basically, you use a big, aluminum trash can like a drum and have lots of fun doing it! Trash Can Band is open to campers who have finished the 5th Grade.
my husband and i each had positive experiences at summer camps and i as a counselor. giving this opportunity to our kids is a high value to us because we know the life changing potential it holds. we know about many camps in many states and we think that alpine is the best of the best. the directors’ are intentional a/b the spiritual, physical, social and character development of each camper under the influences of carefully selected staff and counselors who seek to live out their faith in Jesus in all of life.
our son can’t wait to return to camp (and we can’t wait for him to get away from everyday life & technology here) and have another incredible experience growing and having fun!
his going to alpine is a privilege and a God-given gift!

Wilderness classes are intended to teach boys skills that increase enjoyment of the natural world and make camping more fun! Activities range from exploring the woods with a compass to cooking basic Dutch oven meals. Wilderness is offered to all age groups.
Waterfront offers a way to enjoy a cool dip in the Little River on a hot summer day. Activities can range from using the aqua jump, playing water basketball, and using the zip line. All waterfront staff have their Life Guard Training Certification through the American Red Cross. Swim test required. Classes are set up by age and abilities.
Tennis offers opportunities for instruction in specific strokes and skills, the rules of the game, and common court courtesies. Many boys come to camp never having played tennis. The staff is mindful of the differing levels of skill and organizes classes to accommodate for these differences. No matter if the camper owns his own racquet or needs to borrow one from Alpine. All campers are able to participate.
