We provide opportunities for growth and development
We provide a safe environment for people to take social and emotional risks, where days are filled with fun, laughter, and exploration.
We provide a venue that is financially accessible to all.

Our Volunteers
Omaka Scout Camp is run solely by dedicated volunteers.
They all have at one time or another been involved in Scouting and volunteer as little or as much time as they are able to give.
The volunteers also make up the Omaka Scout Camp Committee. The committee is responsible for the day to day running of the camp and making decisions about the future of Omaka. They meet bi-monthly.
Our volunteers are involved in bookings, accounts, marketing, grants, building maintenance, renovations, and landscaping.
