Camptown

Camptown Transforming lives of urban youth through outdoor adventures that build character, confidence and hope since 1991. Camptown is not a residential camp.

Programs take place on both public and private lands throughout the United States. Camptown uses outdoor wilderness adventures such as backpacking, canoeing, and mountain biking to teach leadership, teamwork, character development, diversity, history, and environmental stewardship to youth from all walks of life. We instill, in each youth participant, environmental awareness and stewardship, effec

tive leadership and teamwork skills, awareness of personal choices and consequences, a vision expanded beyond current life circumstances, responsibility, respect for others, and self-confidence.

As summer closes in, we're preparing for a slew of grand adventures in our National Parks, State Parks, and back home at Base Camp!

From rafting and backpacking to fishing and firebuilding, we have so many adventures planned for our youth — and none of them would be possible without the generous support of our Mt. Everest Sponsors, OneAmerica Financial Foundation. 🏔️⛺

Thank you for your ongoing support and helping us transform the lives of urban youth through outdoor adventures that build character, confidence, and hope! 🚣🎣🔥
