Why Camp Colton

Each year, around 1,000 kids connect with nature and learn about themselves at Camp. Your gift makes our exceptional programs possible. Your generosity removes financial barriers and ensures that all kids can experience Camp. By supporting Camp Colton, you inspire curiosity, nurture positive social development, and build environmental awareness.

“At Camp, I interacted with new people, experiments, and ideas. It was fun asking questions, sharing my thoughts, hiking all around, and making friends.” – Alex, 6th Grade Camper

At Camp, kids make discoveries about themselves and their world. We’re collaborating with more teachers and community partners than ever to expand the reach and impact of Camp.

“I loved choosing a research question and collecting data in the field. I met so many new people and made so many friends. I learned so much about my natural environment and I got a major detox from my phone and drama. I enjoyed the feeling of community at Camp Colton.” – Chloe, 2022 SEED Summer Experience 

With your support, we preserve time-honored Camp traditions and create new ones. We need your help to increase our programming during the school year and extend our programming into the summer. Together, we get kids outside and build environmental literacy through hands-on learning.

“Camp Colton is a welcoming, safe, fun place for ALL students to experience personal growth, discover their role in their ecosystem, and make life-long memories and friends.” – Patrick Brown, Math & Science Teacher
