My Camp Vision

My vision for Camp Owatonna this summer and every summer...


There's a dedicated camp out there
that knows exactly how to live.
Their purpose and their custom
is to always be ready to give.

There's no place like it.
There's really nowhere else
where you can so fully get out
of the mindset of self.

It's the purest site on earth.
Whether with others or alone,
you'll get out what you put in
at this home away from home.

The counselors are committed
completely to their kids.
The love unconditionally--
something selfishness forbids.

They are leaders with dominion.
They don't believe in any lack.
Making a difference in others' lives
with "Be the Best" as their chief plaque.

Where is this place out there
that boys return to again and again?
It's Camp Owatonna:
the camp that builds true men.
