Overview
Alpine Camp for Boys, located at 138 County Road 619 in Mentone, Alabama, is a premier Christian summer camp that has been inspiring boys since 1959. Nestled on 350 acres atop Lookout Mountain, the camp offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure, spiritual growth, and camaraderie. Designed for boys ages 6 to 16, Alpine provides a safe and supportive environment where campers can explore their faith, develop new skills, and create lifelong memories.
What Makes Alpine Special?
Alpine Camp’s philosophy is rooted in relationships and faith. The camp emphasizes living out Christian values through everyday interactions and activities. Each day begins and ends with devotions, encouraging campers to grow spiritually while enjoying the great outdoors. Counselors serve as role models, demonstrating what it means to live a Christ-centered life.
Exciting Activities
Alpine offers a wide variety of activities that cater to every interest:
Sports: Basketball, tennis, soccer, and other team sports foster teamwork and physical fitness.
Outdoor Adventures: Hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and camping allow boys to connect with nature.
Waterfront Fun: Swimming in Little River, canoeing, kayaking, and a thrilling water slide provide endless excitement.
Creative Pursuits: Arts and crafts, music (both vocal and instrumental), and woodworking encourage self-expression.
Special Programs: Ropes courses and zip lines challenge campers to step out of their comfort zones.
Each activity is designed to build confidence, teach new skills, and create lasting friendships.
A Focus on Faith
Faith is central to the Alpine experience. Daily devotions during Morning Watch and cabin time provide opportunities for reflection and prayer. Sunday worship services in the natural amphitheater bring the entire camp together for meaningful fellowship. Through these practices, boys learn to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God."
Exceptional Staff
Alpine’s counselors are carefully selected college-aged Christian men who embody the camp’s values. They serve as mentors and role models, guiding campers through both challenges and triumphs. With a low camper-to-counselor ratio, every boy receives personalized attention and care.
