IMPACT REPORT
CAMP CHIEF OURAY
BETTERBEGINS WITH US
THEIR BEST SELF
Michael Ohl, Executive DirectorCamp Chief Ouray
Sincerely,
Julie Watkins, President/CEOYMCA of the Rockies
Camp Chief Ouray (CCO) hosted its first campers in 1908. Since that time, it has continued to help children make the transition to adulthood by teaching youth to go beyond their comfort zone and by helping them discover their own leadership potential and social skill necessary for success.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience CCO and we are dedicated to providing financial assistance to campers who need it. Every dollar donated to CCO has a lasting impact on the families we serve. The stories throughout this impact report are just a small snapshot of how your support changes the lives of kids and families.
Through a strong tradition of high-quality and safe programming, CCO provides growth in spirit, mind and body in an awe-inspiring setting with a Christian environment. We are proud to launch into the world these young leaders who exemplify our core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.
Thank you for your gifts that benefit the lives of children through the experience of camp. Thank you for giving kids summer memories that will last a lifetime!

Through Camp Chief Ouray’s annual international trip program, 10 youth experienced the history and culture of Peru.
Peru is a beautiful country full of phenomenal people and a legendary history. It is also a country with immense poverty. Experiences like this CCO trip to Peru provide the opportunity for each camper to know and understand our world better and to see how we can have a positive impact on others.
CCOTRIP TO PERU
VOLUNTEEREDat an orphanage in Lima, played games with the children and assisted with restoration and repair.
VISITEDthe Ica Desert, sandboarded, rode in dune-buggies, and were awed by the stars while atop the sand dunes.
REFLECTEDon and shared their experiences with fellow campers upon their return to CCO
IN PERU, CAMPERS:
BESTSELF
PAYING IT FORWARD
Scholarships give kids, who would otherwise not have the opportunity, a chance to experience Camp Magic. CCO is a place where kids can be their BEST SELF. It’s a no judgment environment where everyone is able to be who they truly are.
“It makes me happy to be able to give families the gift of camp. I would not have been able to afford camp for my sons as a single mother, but now I am in a position where I can help today’s young families.”

“This was my eighth year at camp and it was the best one yet! All of the Challenger
counselors were fun, understanding and never failed to make me laugh. My favorite
part of both weeks was the 5th peak hike. I love how much yelling, singing and dancing
we did. Overall, it was a great two weeks. Thanks CCO.”

THE CCO EXPERIENCE
Our YMCA of the Rockies leadership vision for Camp Chief Ouray is to improve the camper experience, welcome more campers and build a strong sense of community among campers and camper families.
We want to serve children for generations to come and expand our reach each year, so that more children can experience summer camp.
Excitement is growing as we develop our plans for new facilities at Camp Chief Ouray. Please watch for updates from our team in 2018 and 2019, so that you can join us in building for the future.
