ABOUT US

Our Mission Statement

The purpose of Camp Lookout is the development of character, leadership, and an interest in service for others.

 

This is accomplished by an atmosphere of happiness and contentment maintained through the many activities offered to meet the needs of the individual campers and the varying age groups.
