Interview

What is your camp best known for?

We are an outdoor environmental camp, with a strong emphasis on marine biology. We have a fantastic science program that reinforces a variety of topics that are learned in a traditional classroom but are introduces taught here through fun, hands on experiments and projects.

What is the best compliment you have received from a parent?

Parents consistently thank us for helping their children become more self confident, leaders and better stewards of the world. They are so happy not only to see personal development in their child but also that their child use what they learned at Camp Live Oak to help the community that they live in.
