CAMP VISION

Outdoor Adventure.
Active play in outdoor spaces provides rich opportunities for young people to develop social skills and gain appreciation for nature.  Many life-changing experiences at summer camp come from trying new things, meeting new friends, and solving problems together.

STEM in Nature.
Nature explorations provide authentic and engaging experiences for learning about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  Lake McMurtry Natural Resource and Recreation Area provides an ideal landscape to learn about wildlife and aquatic conservation in Oklahoma.

Ethic of Care.
An ethic of care promotes respect for self, others, and natural world and its inhabitants. Outdoor Adventure Camp is an inclusive community with counselors who model respect for people of various sizes, abilities, ethnicities, and ages.

Health and Safety
Spending time outdoors is good for the physical and emotional health.  The safety of every camper is our priority.
