The mission of Camp Koolaree:
to provide a camp experience in a safe, sustainable and natural setting
and to foster a deeper individual connection
to Community, Creation and the Creator among campers and staff.
Camp Koolaree Declared a Jubilee Year in 2025.
The Board of Directors at Camp Koolaree made the difficult decision to pause our usual summer camps last year due to several logistical issues. While this decision was not made lightly, we saw this as an opportunity to reset, reconnect with our Koolaree community and allow the land to rest and recover after several years of major construction.
HOWEVER — We Are Back!
