Journey On Lake Texoma
At AllSaints Camp and
Conference Center
Why do we bring our students to Camp JOLT?
“Because Camp JOLT provides students with
Educational Adventures to Promote Environmental
Stewardship, Personal Growth, and Academic
Excellence.” – fifth grade teacher
We as educators cannot recreate these outdoor experiences
in our classrooms. This is a once in a lifetime experience!
Research says…
• Research shows that the great majority of adults who are
active in the environmental science, engineering, and
advocacy fields had formative outdoor experiences during
childhood
