Camp Howard's Goal
We aspire to build Christian values through the camping experience. Each summer we create a unique, spiritual, vibrant community that offers our campers a fun-filled, challenging week in a safe, natural environment. A primary goal of our program development is to make each camper a better citizen after attending Camp Howard. Our camp is designed to assist campers in developing independence, social skills, positive values, and gaining respect through taking responsibilities for ones own actions. Camp Howard is open to all children regardless of race, color, national origin, religious affiliation or creed.
Lost & Found
If your child left anything up at camp or on the bus ride home you can
come to the CYO office to look through the room full of lost and found.
Camp Howard's policy is to keep lost and found for two weeks and
anything that is unclaimed will be given to charity.
About the Staff
Camp Howard seeks good Christian role models. One of our goals is to make your child's experience memorable. Our hiring process includes an application, 3 written references, a background check and an interview. About 20% of our staff have been campers at Camp Howard and possess a desire to pass along their own rewarding experiences. We have international staff members who bring a vast range of experiences and enhance our culture, global and language appreciation. All staff attend a week long training course where they learn counseling skills, behavior management techniques and the policies and procedures that govern Camp Howard.
