Big Oak Day Camp/ Camp Concepts

As we close our 12th Big Oak summer at this campus, we reflect and feel our hearts are full. We shared laughs, tears, hugs, high-fives, games, food & fun. Through it all, life-lessons were learned while friendships were made.

To our camp families : thank you for trusting us with your children every single day. That trust forges our camp community.

To our campers: we are proud of you. Not for losing your water bottle 10x a day, but for bringing your joy and pure energy that kept us on our toes moment by moment.
To the staff: You gave of yourself, brought energy and love. You grew as well.
To the Dogs of Big Oak- thank you for your daily therapy. You never let me down:) Not sure what I will do come Monday?

Until next summer, we love you and now begin counting down the days til next summer.

Tuesday Teen travel to paintball. One of our largest groups to enjoy. Today- when it rains, you do an impromptu fashion show

We never lose children but your children’s items are master escape artists. Campers walk by this table 50x a day but seem to not recognize their own belongings. See anything that looks familiar? As of Friday at 5:30, all items will be discarded.

This might be one of my favorite times to post each year. While we’re always excited to welcome your children each morning, additional joy (and therapy) comes when you bring your dogs! The Dogs of Big Oak are the best — they rarely bite or snap at me, and most let me love on them with great patience and tolerance. We love their visits, and come Monday, I will greatly miss my dog therapy sessions between them. 🐾🐶

We might be able to get your kids to do things you didn’t think possible.
