CAMP OZARK
OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
Safety is the cornerstone of what we do at Incomparable Camp Ozark. Our safety standards are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the American Camp Association.

Camper Safety
Your child’s safety is our number one priority while he or she attends Camp Ozark. While Camp Ozark cannot completely eliminate the possibility of a child becoming ill or being injured while at camp, we do recognize that before the “camp experience” can be anything else to the child, it must be a secure environment for the child to learn and grow.
Every session is staffed by a licensed, on-site Physician and at least 10 Registered Nurses who live in one of our 2 Health Centers.
In addition, Camp Ozark has access to Ambulance service in nearby Mount Ida as well as air evacuation services, if needed, in the case of an extreme emergency.

In addition, we place a strong emphasis on the “Big Five”:

CABIN LIFE
Your Home Away From Home
Cabin Square is home to our youngest campers. We have embarked on a 5-year plan to completely renovate the original cabin square area. Our new cabins will be a little bigger, a little roomier and will enhance the traditional summer camp experience for our youngest campers. In addition, our new cabins will have “in-cabin bathrooms” and are duplex style for an even more incomparable cabin experience.
Middle school aged boys bunk in Frat Row, the Foothills and the Condos. For middle school girls, it’s the Waterfalls, Suburbs and Condos. Bigger Cabins, awesome views.
High Schoolers bunk in a completely separate part of the camp called THE SUMMIT or THE PINES. They have their own dinning hall and separate lounging areas.

CAMPER CARE
"Like One of Our Own"

CAMPER MONITORING
"Incomparable"Camp Experience For All
Camp Ozark firmly believes that all campers deserve to have an “incomparable” camp experience, and, while rare, any camper behavior that negatively affects the experience of others should be addressed in a decisive and timely fashion. Camp Ozark has developed a system of Camper Monitoring designed to prevent, identify and resolve camper behavior issues.
