We firmly believe that by experiencing success as a child our campers will gain the skills they need to be successful in life, and those success opportunities should not be random! Our program is intentionally designed to create those opportunities for success, resulting in a summer experience for your child that will yield a more confident, independent and well-rounded human being, just for having been at camp.

These powerful relationships help to drive your child’s achievements at Oak Crest. Our professionally trained counselors and specialists are carefully hired, screened and taught to help your child find their own avenue of success during the time they are here. Our staff are not only positive role models but they are with our campers every step of the way; helping your child to succeed and even more importantly coaching them through frustrations and setbacks.
Success at Oak Crest comes in many forms from the soccer field to the climbing tower, in the ceramics studio, and on the stage in our camp show; your child will learn real skills and leave camp feeling accomplished! The intentionality of our program is affected through our wide range of age appropriate activities and highly motivated staff who meticulously plan out your child’s day. As campers progress through the different milestones of our program, they begin to realize the magnitude of their accomplishments and in so doing gain a more positive self-image and heightened self-esteem.

At Oak Crest, our mission, philosophy, program and staff all work together in harmony to provide your child with an amazing summer and lifelong memories.
For the past 50 years, we have seen our campers’ summer experiences at camp become a string of beacons that light up the memories of their youth and guide them towards a successful future.

The pinnacle of a camper’s years at Oak Crest is gaining entry to our prestigious Leadership in Training program. The Oak Crest LIT Program is designed to give our older campers the tools to become the next generation of staff. As our former campers transition to staff, they are eager to give back the gifts given to them when they were children, which in and of itself is…The Oak Crest Way.
When deciding on your child’s summer program, perhaps the most important considerations are those elements you don’t see. All day camps have nice facilities filled with amenities such as ropes courses, pools, fields etc., but what are you really buying? If you are like most parents, you want your child to get something meaningful out of a summer experience and those are the kinds of intangibles you just can’t see on a camp tour. A Summer at Oak Crest yields so much more than just learning how to swim or hit a baseball; it means your child will gain true life skills, like…
- Independence
- Confidence
- Teamwork and Sportsmanship
- Willingness to try new activities
- Determination and Perseverance
- Social Skills
- Emotional Intelligence
- Integrity
- Leadership Skills
- Resiliency
