CAMP ANGELOS' mission has been to provide a quality facility for all groups to organize, conduct and
maintain a camp, retreat and center for educational, developmental and recreational purposes regardless of
race, creed, or culture.
Over the years, we have had many diverse groups use our camp to promote their own programs that include
religious training; support groups; instructional camps; and, survival skills. We have also provided the
perfect location for weddings, fund raisers, family and fraternal reunions, and business seminars.
We are very proud to have the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children name us as their most successful
outing location for handicapped children. This program started in 2011 with fishing at our then new
handicapped dock and has expanded in 2012 to also include archery instruction at our newly maintained
range. We offer the Big Brother/Big Sister organization free fishing days at Camp Angelos with expert
volunteer training for both the kids and their adult counterparts. For 15 years, we have provided a week long
summer Fish Camp for underprivileged and at risk children. Camp Agape is a Kids N' Cancer camp offered
free of charge for the entire family of the child with cancer and comes here every August. Holt International
Adoption brings kids from all over Oregon and Washington once a year to re-connect with their culture
and share stories and they do this at Camp Angelos. In addition to various church summer youth camps, we
host a number of adult Recovery week-end retreats, who include work projects at the camp as a part of their
program. Most of the church groups staying here include a service day. It's a way for their kids to learn to
give back.
We also give back to the community by providing a place for fundraisers with most of the funds supporting
Outdoor School and other kid's programs. In addition, we allow Multnomah County Fire and Rescue to use
our camp for training; help Eagle Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Cub Scouts earn their badges and then have their
awards ceremonies at the camp; and lastly be a location for school proms, baby showers, family reunions and
both corporate and club picnics.
Our camp is also one of the primary choices for Multnomah County Outdoor School every spring and fall
and Battleground School District in early June. These enriching programs provide an especially wonderful
outdoor experience for many children. We are also a beautiful place to have a wedding. Couples come here
because they like being part of and contributing to a place that puts kids first.
