Columbia Association Camps

The CA Summer Camp program offers a safe and fun environment that will help campers build community, cultivate a unique sense of place and create lifelong memories. With a range of camp options and locations to choose from, your kids will have the summer of a lifetime! CA Camps are for kids 5-12 years old. 

Camp is a caring community. Opportunities abound for children to experience being in a true community — getting along with others, accepting differences and working together. The joys of acceptance and sharing prompt children to try new positive things, choose new friends, express caring thoughts about others and resolve conflicts.

Camps add value to a child's growth and education. Discovery, exploration and active participation are methods of learning. Children connect with the natural world directly and not through the digital filters of computers, television, or movies. Children practice growing up by taking healthy risks and stepping beyond their comfort zones. Children learn best through experience. Camp helps to fill the gaps that exist beyond academic instruction.

Camp is fun. Camp is an environment built specifically for children. Campers learn to invent themselves through enjoyable and fun activities. Fun is the foundation upon which courage and self-respect, cooperation and responsibility are constructed.
