Our Philosophy
We lead youth to a better path through experiential adventure programs
in the great outdoors. Ideas and attitudes formed through direct experiences
are a greater influence on choices and behaviors in the future than those
formed through indirect experiences.
The intensity of a wilderness experience creates an ideal environment
to influence attitude formation and to teach skills such as leadership,
teamwork, and conflict resolution. All of these skills are essential
for learning how to thrive with life no matter what the circumstance.
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, effective leadership and teamwork skills,
awareness of personal choices and consequences, a vision expanded beyond
current
life circumstances, responsibility, respect for others, and self-confidence.
