Mission
WE BELIEVE THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN OUR CARE DESERVE THE CHANCE TO HEAL BY BEING VALUED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT BY COMPETENT, CARING PROFESSIONALS. CAMP OAKLAND IS A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT TREATMENT AGENCY THAT SERVES AT-RISK CHILDREN AND YOUTH. OVER 300 CHILDREN ARE SERVED ANNUALLY IN OUR INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL CORE PROGRAMS. WE UTILIZE A PROVEN THERAPEUTIC MODEL COMBINING CHOICE THEORY AND ADVENTURE BASED EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TECHNIQUES BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE. WE EMPOWER YOUTH SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO EVALUATE THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE THOUGHTFUL DECISIONS IN THEIR LIVES, WHILE ALSO FACILITATING EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING. OUR BEAUTIFUL 160-ACRE, WOODED MAIN CAMPUS PROVIDES AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FROM WHICH TO OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF PROGRAMMING. IT IS AMAZING WHAT KIDS DISCOVER ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCONNECT FROM TECHNOLOGY.
