Basic Expectations about our SMA Dream Day Camp

SMA Mission Statement:

The purpose of Stone Mountain Adventures is to provide a safe environment in which kids can build their confidence through challenging activities and the cooperative group processes.

SMA Camp Philosophy:

Stone Mountain Adventures is an adventure camp. We believe that each individual should be challenged to step beyond his/her own abilities: to ride with confidence, to climb with technique, to hike one more trail, to bike one more hill. Stepping beyond also means personal growth: developing self-reliance, trusting in new friendships, and learning to be sensitive to the needs of others in the community. These are some of the key components that make our adventure summer camp special.
