Camp Get-A-Way

Camp Get-A-Way Life hardly ever feels “normal” when you have a child struggling with an emotional, behavioral, or mental illness.

That’s why Camp Get-A-Way has created a safe camp experience, where families can just be families.

Why is camp for you?

Camp Get-A-Way is a place where both parents and children can feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Our camp is thoughtfully designed to support the whole family while also giving each individual space to grow, connect, and thrive.

Here, you’ll discover understanding, valuable resources, and a welcoming community that truly understands your journey. You’ll meet people who relate to your experiences, share your challenges, and celebrate your victories.

Most importantly, you’ll be reminded that you are not alone.

You belong here.

Hi everyone! I’m Ken, Board President of Camp Get-A-Way.

I first came to camp to support a youth I was working with, and that experience quickly turned into something much bigger. I joined the staff and eventually oversaw crisis management and training. Later, I was invited to join the Board, and for the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Board President.

What I love most about camp is seeing youth and families succeed in things they once thought were out of reach—whether that’s hitting a target in archery or learning to express their feelings in a healthy, confident way. In my role, I help guide the organization’s overall direction, including program development, hiring and supervision, strategic planning, and identifying new funding
opportunities.

Favorite camp memory:
Watching parents choose to stay and experience activities alongside their kids instead of attending training sessions.

Go-to campfire snack:
A perfectly toasted marshmallow—s’mores can be tricky with a beard!

Hidden talent:
Architecture sketching. It’s been a hobby of mine since 5th grade, and while I’ve built up quite a collection of designs over the years, these days I mostly use it for small home renovation projects.

Spirit-animal energy:
A llama—fun and full of personality, but with a signature “judgy” look. Just like me.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me—I’m looking forward to seeing you all at camp!

Mental health is not a destination—it’s the way you navigate the road, not the place you arrive.

Each journey is its own, winding and unpredictable. There’s no straight line, no single map, only your own path, and every step—every stumble, every triumph—is beautiful and worth celebrating.

No mess, no gain.

Sometimes the “mess” isn’t just what you see around you—it’s internal, emotional, and mental. It’s the hard work that doesn’t always look pretty.

Think about deep cleaning a room. At some point, everything is out of place, scattered, and it actually looks worse than when you started. But that messy middle? It’s part of the process. It means you’re doing the real work.

Mental health journeys are the same. Growth can feel uncomfortable, overwhelming, and even chaotic at times. The mess can distort how far you’ve actually come—but it’s also proof that something meaningful is happening beneath the surface.

There is strength in allowing yourself to sit in that messy middle. Because that’s where healing, growth, and real change begin.

At camp, we make space for the mess—and support each other through it. 💚

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

At Camp Get-A-Way, our mission is to shine a light on mental health and create a space where you feel seen, supported, and never alone.

Mental health isn’t linear — it’s a deeply personal journey, full of ups, downs, pauses, and progress that looks different for everyone. Every step forward, no matter how small, deserves to be celebrated.

Every step counts. Every feeling matters. You never have to do it alone.

Here’s to honoring every stride you’ve made. ✨
