OUR STORY

We provide transformational peer-led camp experiences designed to improve physical well-being and develop each participant’s social, emotional, and leadership skills.

Mission Statement

We provide transformational peer-led camp experiences designed to improve physical well-being and develop each participant’s social, emotional, and leadership skills.

Background Statement

Mountain Respite Camp (MRC) was founded in 2005 to provide a retreat for individuals and families facing health challenges. For years, MRC operated through various organizations without its own 501(c)(3) status or a fiscal sponsor. In 2017, Community Camp Corporation was established to provide MRC with a stable foundation and the capacity to grow.

Community Camp Corporation was also designed to develop future camp programs for groups such as veteran families and mental health workers, furthering its mission of fostering healing and connection through nature.

Impact Statement

Mountain Respite Camp offers a sanctuary for individuals and families facing physical, mental, or emotional health challenges. In the healing embrace of nature, campers find rest, connection, and resilience through tailored activities and a supportive community.

Participants leave with reduced stress, renewed hope, and tools to face life’s challenges, creating ripples of positivity in their families and communities.

Needs Statement

Peers in this community are prone to isolation. Many of our participants spend most of the year behind closed doors leading to health issues. Many have never been out of the city or get a chance to vacation. Our Mountain Respite Camp is the only way for them to enjoy themselves without limitations and to meet new friends.
