Special Local Events

Local Community Events
Visitors from all over the United States and the world come to Camp Jewell each year to enjoy the friendliness of our staff, the quality of our programs and the beautiful camp setting.  In so many ways we are a member of the international community.

We also are a vital part of the local community as well.  We strive to offer events, programs and services at little or no cost to those that live in our own backyard.  Examples include:

*   After School enrichment programs
*   Home School Programs
*   Traveling mini-farm
*   Field trips to camp
*   International staff presentations at school and camp 
*   Open winter snow tubing 
*   Teambuilding for school teachers
*   Conference space for local civic and government organizations
*   Birthday parties
*   Day Camp
