Chief Joseph Summer Camp 2025
“Be Bold, Be Brave, Be You”
CAMP DETAILS
This week long, day camp for kids entering 2nd through 6th grades in the fall of 2025, has been a Wallowa County tradition for over 50 years. We’re excited to continue partnering with the Lions Club and be back again at Ferguson Ridge (Fergi), outside of Joseph, Oregon.
Camp runs daily from 9AM-3PM, with an early dismissal on Friday at 2PM.
Registration is open to anyone going into 2nd through 6th grade in fall of 2025, no matter where you reside.
We work hard to keep fees low despite rising costs. Camp is funded by camper fees and donations, and we are grateful to all of those who have contributed over the years!
Camp registration fee is $150. T-shirt is included.
Registration is subject to space available, with a cap of 144 campers. Registration packets must be received in our mailbox by June 6th. Priority will be given on a first-come first-served basis.
Scholarships are available, but must be requested by mail or email before May 31st.
Counselors are hired teens and workshop and cooperative group leaders are community volunteers.
Workshops vary from year to year but often include painting, archery, geocaching, drama, hiking, cooking, slip-n-slide, science projects, bookmaking, sports, braiding, and sculpting.
Last year we added a new feature - a blow up slip-n-slide!
Buses: We plan to have our usual bus stops in Wallowa, Lostine, Enterprise, and Joseph. Please be sure to select which bus stop your child will be riding to and from. If their schedule will vary, let Lisa know at chiefjosephsummercamp@gmail.com prior to camp. Any changes during the week need to be made at least one day in advance so we can let the volunteers know that check kids onto the buses.
