A Day at Camp

Danish culture, summer time fun
and life long friendships

Language Classes

Starting with the basics for our youngest campers (counting to 10, please and thank you, etc.) to conversational Danish for our Senior Campers with native speakers from Denmark.

Family time

We divide our campers and counselors into “family groups” to facilitate bonding and a competitive spirit. Families work together to plan skits, play games, and get into all sorts of camp shenanigans.

Get outside

From sports time, swimming, folk dancing, and more – we spend much of our day enjoying the beautiful outdoor scenery surrounding us at the Menucha Retreat & Conference Center

A slice of Denmark in the Columbia Gorge

Himmelbjerget Danish Camp is named after the Danish “Sky Mountain,” whose foliage and scenery share a resounding resemblance to that found at the Menucha Retreat and Conference Center in Corbett, OR. While the real Himmelbjerget is located in Søhøjlandet, Denmark, our beloved camp has been hosted by Menucha for over 30 years.

Private, beautiful, and full of tradition, there’s really no other place in the world like it.

Fun Fact: perched 655 feet above the Columbia George, Himmelbjerget Danish Camp is 173 feet higher than our namesake (which is Denmark’s highest point.)
