Camptown

Camptown Provides purposeful adventures to youth in the outdoors 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.

WOW! This past Saturday we had 16 Camptown Youth Leaders come to basecamp and spent the day canoeing, rafting, and fishing.
All skills practiced this weekend will be utilized on our week long summer trip to West Virginia. Thank you again so much friends_of_the_white_river for letting us borrow your rafts!

As our 23rd annual golf tournament closes in, we want to thank some of our incredible sponsors who are making purposeful adventures possible with a great day of golf! 🏌️‍♀️🙌

By supporting the Tom Lehman Memorial Golf Tournament, our sponsors are going beyond the green — helping us take urban youth on outdoor adventures that create meaningful impact in their social, emotional, and life-skills.

Every swing, every skirt card, and every sponsorship creates ripples of positive impact... a huge thank you to our upper tier sponsors!

Better late than never! A couple weeks ago we took Christel House Academy West 8th graders on a 5-day backpacking and rafting adventure! These students really pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and created unforgettable memories! We are so grateful for our continued partnership with Christel House and their commitment to providing incredible experiences to their students!

A great program with Bigs and Littles from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana today at Camptown Basecamp! We did laps around our lake in canoes, caught fish from our dock, took a nature hike through our woods and finished the day with a fire building lesson and s’mores! It was a fun way to start Memorial Day weekend!

To us, Camptown CORE members are like trees... they leaf us smiling! 🍁☺️🌿

As monthly donors, Camptown CORE members help us provide outdoor programs all year long, as well as improve our behind the scenes operations. Because of their generosity, we're able to have a predictable flow of revenue — allowing us to better budget our programming and increase our reach! Without a doubt, Camptown CORE is what allows us to lead more trips, discover more views, and impact more kids! 🏕️🏔️

After months of working quietly behind the scenes, we’re so excited to finally share this news — Camptown has been awarded a $400,000 Community Impact Grant through a brand new partnership with Lowe’s!

This incredible investment is helping us launch the first of multiple phases of improvements at our new 26-acre Base Camp property, including lake expansion, native tree plantings, a new council ring gathering space, campsites, and more!

But this project is about so much more than the land itself. We’re creating a place where Central Indiana youth can connect with nature, build confidence, and experience outdoor adventure in meaningful ways for generations to come.

This is only the beginning, and we’d love for you to be part of the journey. We’re rolling up our sleeves alongside Lowe’s to spend the day painting, planting, defining trails and more! – all in service of creating lasting adventure memories for the youth we serve.
