Camp Tonkawa
Outdoor Learning Center, Inc

Welcome to Camp Tonkawa

Our camp is founded on the concept of helping people rediscover their connection to the earth. We are all connected to nature, and at Camp Tonkawa, we help you to nurture that connection.

  • Feel your connection to all living things.
  • Sense the spirit of the wilderness.
  • Know that you are related to the earth on a practical and a spiritual level.

Our goal is for everyone to be as knowledgeable of the natural world as the Native Americans, who love, honor, and respect our planet earth...Mother Nature. Through this we are going to help our planet.

We believe and teach from the perspective that nature is our teacher. By learning from the earth, people become truly alive, glowing with happiness, full of confidence and joy.

All our campers learn by participating in fun activities.

When a person moves away from nature, the heart becomes hard - Lakota proverb

Listen to the voice of nature, for it holds treasures for you. - Huron proverb

  • Unplug from a hectic lifestyle.
  • Experience timelessness.
  • Become confident by learning life skills.
  • Meet like-minded people who support a peaceful life choice.
  • Feel at peace and comfortable in the wilderness.

A day at Camp Tonkawa is a life-changing experience.
