College of the Ozarks hosts Camp Lookout on its campgrounds, which are complete with an activities field, housing, and playgrounds.

This camp meets the needs of the local community by providing a camp for children based on financial need, allowing children to have a positive camp experience.

“The theme ‘Solid as The Rock’ points to the trustworthiness and steadfastness of our Savior,” said Lori Simmons, Camp Lookout administrator. “Pointing campers to a hope in Christ and a knowledge that He loves them and can be trusted is life changing.”

Campers should be dropped off on Mondays at 3:30 p.m., with camp activities running through 6 p.m. on Thursday. Campers’ experiences include worship, Bible training, swimming, and visiting Silver Dollar City. Camp weeks will conclude with a parent and camper dinner at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
