I have had 3 children go through this camp, 2 for 10 years and one just returned from her 9th. My two oldest also went for a year as counselors. It is an incredible place, and is where each of my children truly found Christ to be their personal Savior! We attend a great church with wonderful youth programs, but still they attribute that moment to Ozark. The counselors are very screened, work within a very disciplined framework, and have true joy to share with the campers. We love this camp, and are so happy our children decided to leave our wonderful state of Texas to have a new experience for 2 weeks every year!
Worst camp in the history of camps! Never go her in your life. Everything is terrible. I hated it soooooooooooooooooooo much. I cant belive people love this camp.
My daughter is attending Camp Ozark for her second time this summer. She loves this camp. I was hesitant to send her out of state. After many calls to speak to the staff, off she went. I chuckled at a previous comment. The first thing my daughter said to me after not seeing her for a week was," Next year ,I am staying 2 weeks ?"
Every member of the staff is a great influence and incredibly caring. Facilities and activities are top-notch. The counselors are always available for children.
Camp Ozark was a wonderful experience for me as a 8 year camper. The staff is caring and attends to your child's personal needs. The med staff takes care of any injury (which is highly rare). The camp moms handle homesickness and (if requested) can call you everyday to let you know how your camper is doing. The food is very tasty, and if your kid is gluten-free or vegetarian, they can fit to every need. The activities are what every kid wants. They compete, swim, run, play, ride, skate, kick, and play sports. If your kid is not really the sporty type, there is craft sheds, woodworking, painting, soap and bath creations, sewing, pottery, etc. bathrooms and cabins are very good. I call the top bunk! Camp ozark is a very fun camp for any one. Sometimes I here my parents telling me that if they knew this was here, they would've gone too.:)
I started camp ozark when I was eight for one week, and the first thing I said to my parents were not "I love you and missed you" but "can I go two weeks next year?" I am now a loyal 5 year camper and going to go tgere until im 17. I can honestly say that this camp is brtter than any other camp! Camp ozark has taught me more about Christ than any church has ever done because its fun, relatable, and amazing! The food is great, the staff is absolutely INCREDIBLE ( how do they find such great people?) and the friends are life-lasting! Thank you camp ozark for being the thing I must look forward to every year!
Camp Ozark is Great! My children LOVE it! The staff works very hard at making this a wonderful experience. First year campers have camp moms call and give updates on your camper. They have a wonderful website with daily pictures and much more. Camp is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Go Osage!
Camp Ozark was VERY professional in every aspect. Starting with my gathering information off their website, to signing up and choosing activities via the web, and their superior organization with loading kids on the buses without a hitch. My two kids (ages 8 and 10) had a fabulous time and met great friends!!! GO OSAGE!!!
This is a great camp experience! We have girls that attended Waldemar for years and have had the bar set high for a great camp experience and this is it! My son wanted to join his cousins at Camp Ozark instead of attending his Dad's childhood boy's camp in the hill country of Texas and we are very glad we made the decision to send him to this FINE Christian camp. The staff is always very accommodating and the facilities are top notch! The activities that the children have the opportunity to participate in are wide ranging and well-taught. The kid's feel very connected not only to their counselor's but to the Torn's as well. The love of children and the desire of the Torn's and their family to share God's love with every camper is truly evident in the way they operate this camp. My son and our family is truly blessed to have been exposed to the Camp Ozark experience!
I was a nine year camper and from the first day I stepped foot into Camp Ozark it was my home away from home. The worst part about this camp is leaving! All of the staff members, not just counselors, are magnificent and are very experienced. Camp Ozark also helped me to have a relationship with Christ and for that, I will always thank Camp Ozark. I won't be returning this summer unfortunately and I am very sad. I love my Ozark family and all the fun they provide. Send your kids here! And if you don't have the money, they can earn their tuition at Camp War Eagle, Camp Ozark's partner camp, through community service and achievements in school. Ozark also gives scholarships. If it could, Ozark would take in every child in the world, and every one of those kids would have the time of their lives. I HIGHLY recommend this camp. Not an opportunity to be missed out on!
My son attended this camp for four years and we were very pleased. A great Christian atmosphere, but not in your face, over the top. Beautiful setting on the Ouchita River in Arkansas. We were very impressed with the counselors there who were all great examples. I've looked at lots of camps and the faciilites, activities and staff can't be beat here. Worth the money!
One of the best camps out there. Their facilities are better than any I've seen, the staff of such high quality, and the amount of activities offered is staggering. I don't know how they do it year after year, but Ozark always seems to get better and better. My kids have been to several other camps but wouldn't think of leaving Ozark. They would be so mad at me! Ozark is a bit pricey, but it is, in my opinion, the best summer camp out there in this part of the country (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, etc.)
The staff is rude! They treat the children horribly and have no respect for any vistors! Please do not send your children here if you want them to have agood time!
I have researched camps thoroughly. I can honestly say this is the finest camp I have ever seen. The facilities and programs and attention to detail are simply incredible.
