About Camp Carvela, Camp Lookout, and Crystalaire Adventures

Camp Lookout is an organization that empowers young people through experiential learning. We strive to make a positive impact on each member of our community by building connections to self, others and the natural world. The following are the central ideals that help us achieve our mission:

• Our collaborative programming model fosters strong leadership skills and independence while giving participants the opportunity to create their own experience.
• The non-competitive culture creates a safe space for participants to try new things and take healthy social and physical risks.
• We are an unplugged community. Taking a break from the electronic world helps us reconnect with others in an authentic way and develop strong communication skills.
• Free time is incorporated multiple times throughout each day to give participants a chance to relax, explore new interests, and connect with others.
• A sense of playfulness is ever-present in our programs. By having a fun and playful environment, we create a space to discover oneself and explore with others.

Throughout all that we do, we work to create positive connections between campers and staff alike and meaningful experiences for all. When a participant finishes their time with us, we hope they will have a stronger sense of self and independence, a better understanding of how to relate to and communicate with others, and will have tried something new!
