What Is Camp Creative? An Oregon based charitable Summer Camp (with many traditional camp activities) expanding to a year-round Outdoor Program including writer's workshops, residencies, Everyman Olympics, retreats and special events. Our emphasis is on the arts (especially literary) and safe, exciting project themed expeditions: Bicycling - road and mountain Bike trips and camping expeditions as our primary way of exploring. In addition, we'll have hiking and backpacking trips, horseback pack trips, canoe, sea kayaking, rafting and sailing programs. Operated under American Camping Association standards.

Will there be scholarships and sliding scale fees? We will offer a significant number of camper scholarships and a sliding scale fee based on need. Camp Creative is not a program for need based campers only. It will be a diverse mix of ethnic and socio-economic populations.


How you can help support Camp Creative?
You can help support Camp Creative by donating time, money, land, vehicles, supplies and equipment (camping gear, canoes, bicycles, art supplies, and office equipment would all be very much appreciated.) And you're donation is tax deductible!
