Ask any child and they are sure to tell you that, above all, they go to camp to have fun! It’s just that simple. And at camp ozark, fun is one of the many things we feel we do better than anyone.
CAMP OZARK
Our Program
Our daily program, which features over 150 different Activities in a variety of areas, our famed Tribal Competition, our unbeatable, unbelievable Special Events, and our upbeat and inspirational Lifeline services, are designed so kids will have an absolute, total blast! After all, to the child, that is what summer camp is all about.
Speaking of “total blast,” the Camp Ozark program also features Mish Mash! Mish Mash, the camper’s favorite time of the day, is when the campers get to do any camp activity they want.
Campers can ride horses, work on craft projects, ride the waterslides, jump on the Blob, practice their tennis skills, fish in the fishing pond, challenge our Ropes Course, shoot hoops with their friends…the options are practically unlimited!
Legend has it that the very spot on which Camp Ozark is located is the ancient battle ground of these two fierce teams. Upon arriving at Camp Ozark, each camper is initiated into one of these two teams in a secret and solemn ceremony. From that moment on, the two tribes lock horns in a series of unique competitions.
TEAM COMPETITION
THREE FLAMES
At camp ozark, we believe there are very valuable lessons to be learned through our tribal competition. We constantly focus on the “three flames” of team competition:
MAXIMUM EFFORT
MAXIMUM ENTHUSIASM
TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP
FIRST IS THIRD (F.I.T.)
OVERRIDING THEME
Place God First.
Our belief is that in order to “win” in our lives, we must place god first, others second and ourselves third. By placing ourselves third, by being “F.I.T.”, we actually come in first in the “game of life”.
It’s Mish Mash Time!!! is the cheer that rings through Camp Ozark as campers begin their favorite time of the day. Mish Mash is a little over two hours every day of structured free time when the campers are free to do any camp activity they want.
