Campers

Camp Harmony is proud to offer children from underserved local communities a nurturing and exciting outdoor experience. At Camp Harmony, we promise the campers “all the love they can take and all the food they need.” Every child will cherish their time at Camp Harmony, the wonderful counselors, the beautiful scenery, and the endless fun! Best of all, campers attend free of charge.

Counselors

Counselors from more than 35 surrounding high schools apply to serve at Camp Harmony. These counselors, ranging from 10th-12th grade, participate in summer and winter sessions as Harmony leaders and inspirational role models for the campers. To help United in Harmony sponsor all campers, counselors are asked to underwrite their own camp expenses through a fee payment.

Support Staff

Volunteers are the backbone of Harmony’s programs. Unit Heads return to Camp Harmony from college across the country to continue the mission they adopted in high school. In their role, Unit Heads mentor and guide counselors while helping lead camp activities.

Adult Support Staff also volunteer at Harmony programs and camps, overseeing activities and logistics that keep everything running smoothly. When needed, Support Staff step into work directly with a camper or cabin to ensure every child has the best possible experience.

Leadership is a way to learn what it takes to put on activities that can make underprivileged kids that really need it extremely happy. I was once one of those kids.

Experience was so meaningful as I connected with all my campers. My relationship with Camp Harmony campers has motivated me to continue to give back.

Adam JaysenCamp Harmony Counselor

When we would come back to school from Winter Break my friends had gone to faraway places and I felt like for once I fit in because I had gone on vacation as well. I have returned back to the place that taught me that there are people out there in the world rooting for me.

United in Harmony taught me that happiness is inside you and with the people you love the most. It has also shown many children that there is a world where you can be you the real you!

Rosemary RodriguezFormer Camper turned volunteer Counselor

Camp Harmony has completely changed my life. Being able to make an impact and be a positive role model for these kids in just a short week or a weekend of camp is incredible. The experience is so special and life changing to me, the campers and all the other volunteers. The Camp Harmony experience is truly like no other.
