Our Mission

Camp Explore is committed to enhancing student awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of our environment by teaching and modeling good character traits while exploring our natural world in a way that fosters stewardship to preserve the Earth for future generations.

We strive to accomplish this mission by:

  • Providing opportunities for students to develop core ethical values such as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, fairness, and citizenship while interacting with nature.
  • Inspiring students to gain self-confidence, resilience, and group interaction skills through team-building activities.
  • Creating a camp atmosphere of caring and respect.
  • Encouraging students to explore the wonders of our environment through a variety of "hands-on" experiences.
  • Educating students about ecological concepts.
  • Teaching students to utilize their ability to observe and interpret our natural world.
  • Maintaining the importance of developing student commitment to respecting the fragility of our planet and accepting responsibility for preserving the Earth.
