Camino is not a one-size-fits-all camp model. We partner with nonprofit organizations to bring their participants to campus, collaborate to fund these experiences, and co-create customized program schedules—ensuring each week is intentionally designed to meet the specific needs, goals, and desired outcomes of the communities we serve.
