Camp Adams is an Oregon camp located on 216 acres of mature temperate rainforest. Not only do we provide meaningful summer camping experiences for children, youth, and congregations, but we continue to shape Camp Adams into a site for eco-justice activism and sustainable ecological practices. The Camp has entered into an easement agreement with the local conservation district that preserves 180 acres of this land in perpetuity, with financial proceeds from the agreement invested in an endowment fund for the long-term support and maintenance of the camp property.
Children and youth from kindergarten to high school have been attending summer camp at Camp Adams for years. Age-appropriate programs provide the traditional overnight camp experience wrapped within the fundamental ideals of the United Church of Christ faith tradition. Experienced and trained volunteers provide daily programming and cabin counseling. Paid summer camp staff provide and supervise daily swims in the camp swimming hole, outdoor group activities, arts and crafts, nature experiences and an evening gathering around the campfire. Food service is designed around whole foods and the promotion of healthy eating choices.
