CampOUT Core Values
Community
At our summer camp, building a strong sense of community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in fostering connections and friendships that last a lifetime. Campers learn the value of teamwork, inclusivity, and supporting one another through shared experiences.
Authenticity
We encourage campers to be their authentic selves and embrace who they are. Our camp is a place where everyone is accepted and celebrated for their individuality. We believe in nurturing self-confidence and self-expression, allowing campers to shine as their true selves.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is more than just being present in the moment; it’s about being mindful of others and the environment. We teach campers to treat each other with respect and kindness, creating a harmonious and compassionate community. Additionally, we instill a deep appreciation for nature, teaching campers to be mindful of our planet and its conservation.
Pride
Our camp is proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming. We celebrate diversity and support campers of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Pride, for us, means creating a safe and accepting space where campers can express themselves freely, knowing that they are loved and valued for who they are.
