About Us
Our Camp
Mountain High Camp is a unique five‑day Christian camp created especially for young adults living with brain injuries. Nestled in the cool mountains of Red River, New Mexico, the camp offers a refreshing, joy‑filled environment where campers experience community, encouragement, and God’s love.
Mountain High is sponsored by Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation Hospital in Dallas, TX, Faith Mountain Fellowship Church in Red River, NM, Nocona Hills Community Church, Living Waters Fellowship Church and the Texas District Pilot Clubs, who partner together to make this life‑changing week possible.
Founders
Mountain High Camp was founded by Mike and Charlotte Wilson, who poured their hearts into creating a place of joy, faith, and belonging. The very first camp was held in August 1994, and for the next 26 years, Mountain High continued to bless young adults with brain injuries and their families.
Camp paused after 2019 as Covid changed the way gatherings could be held. In November 2020, Mike went home to heaven, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and service that continues to inspire everyone connected to Mountain High. Camp resumed in 2022, carrying forward the mission Mike and Charlotte began so faithfully.
