Accomplishments
Provide over $80,000 in scholarship assistance. Record attendance in our resident youth camping programs Record attendance in our family camping programs Record number of 16 years old youth participating in our Counselor-in-Training Programs. The Spirit is alive, not only in the activities, songs, and laughter that fill our days, but in the peaceful reverie of campers who, for the first time, behold the Milky Way splashed across the night sky. It is the community of youth, families, and leaders from across the globe that grows each summer and comes together to share in fun, fellowship, adventure, and spiritual growth. It is the respect and reverence for the environment that is instilled in all who experience Camp Olson through instruction and a direct experience with nature.
