Who We Are

Camp Santa Maria is dedicated to providing high quality camp programming in the scenic environment of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We provide a traditional overnight camp experience for children from all walks of life, and proactively seek out underserved populations that wouldn’t get to experience camp, whether due to financial reasons or otherwise.

Mission, Vision and Core Values

Camp Santa Maria exists to create spaces for people to find a sense of belonging, purpose, and connectedness with each other, nature, and the principles of our camp philosophy.

As an organization committed to integrity, service, and inclusivity, we use the CARE Model:

• Curiosity | Ask questions, let your sense of wonder take over, be creative
• Awareness | Be aware of the people and things around you, show compassion
• Responsibility | Take ownership of the camp experience, it’s everyone’s job.
• Execution | Know when it’s time to act, be courageous, do what’s right

We strive to infuse our guiding principles into everything we do at Camp Santa Maria, and our goal is that the work we do at camp extends into the communities of the campers and staff when they return home as well.
