Above all else, Oasis is about making sure every child has a great time at our camp while being physically and emotionally safe. Through everything we do we instill and role model a sense of community, friendship, bonds, teamwork, confidence, and a sense of belonging. When your kids come home dirty and exhausted and can’t wait to come back, we’ve done our job and at a surprisingly affordable price!
