Camptown’s mission is to challenge, mentor, and teach youth about life through outdoor adventure and nature programs that help build confidence, character, and hope. That compelling mountain-top vista. The campsite next to the pristine flowing stream. Earning the view from a challenging hike. Reeling in the catch of the day. Admiring the intricacies of the millipede. Conquering fear to reach for the next handhold. Paddling by the cascading falls. Doing it all with friends, new and old. With caring adults to guide and facilitate. At Camptown, we use adventures to help youth flourish. Research shows wilderness adventures and outdoor experiences have been proven to be fertile ground for transformative growth. Our expert staff work with youth and leaders to craft outdoor education and adventures to develop leadership, teamwork, confidence and respect. Children and teens learn about themselves, others, and the world around them through these direct experiences. In the beauty and intensity of wilderness, they must use skills as a team to accomplish their goals. They develop an appreciation for the natural world. They place themselves in a beautiful environment that transcends the landscape of urban streetscapes or suburban life.
