Second Annual “Earth-Day-to-Arbor Day Challenge”

Red Oak Camp needs your support!

Did you know that environmental stewardship was one of the activities for the first Red Oak campers? It wasn’t called “stewardship” way back in 1947, but taking care of our own property plus service at the Arboretum was built into every camp day.

Caring for our natural world has always been part of the deal here. Campers create and maintain trails, clear invasive species, collect litter, build bridges, plant gardens, pull weeds, and plant trees. Along the way, they not only have fun, they learn about flora and fauna in our 87-acre patch of Northeast Ohio. It’s paramount to our mission of building campers’ character through outdoor exploration and adventure. It’s part of our history and crucial for our future.

While it may come as a surprise, revenue from camp tuition does not cover operating costs for the camp -- let alone maintenance and repairs.  Instead, we count on your added support to maintain the level of excellence Red Oak Camp has achieved as a camp so far. 

We hope you will consider supporting Red Oak, which boasts a more than 70-year tradition of providing quality outdoor adventure-based experiences for our campers. Your contributions make life-changing memories and development possible for children each year.
