About Camp Augusta

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

Camp Augusta is not your average summer camp. We are a nonprofit residential summer camp that offers a truly unique summer camp experience for campers (ages 8-16) and staff alike. We have the longest staff training in the country, 150 + activities, an organization built on a flat hierarchy, nonviolent communication, success counseling, AND fortnightly oatmeal fights. See more about our vision and approach here: https://campaugusta.org/vision/

Come be our next Gandalf, Dumbledore, or Yoda. Come be part of the adventure!

“A truly unique experience of professional and personal development: - Intentional living within a tight-knit community of compassionate and motivated staff. These are words that are often thrown around in professional circles, but find actual visceral meaning in the social context of Augusta. - Opportunities to take on responsibilities and undertake projects unique in scope. Whether it's putting on a 150 person production, developing risk management for a high entropy system, or researching practices for a new set of activities, nothing is out of reach of the engaged staff member. - Comprehensive practical and theoretical training in community building, interpersonal skills, and leadership of children and adults alike. Camp Augusta has an extensive onboarding and staff training process - hundreds of hours - and it uses every single one of them. I found great value in the frameworks and practices offered in this training. ”

“I loved the people. I've worked at a handful of other summer camps for 5 years, and every single one of them depends on a small group of dedicated people to turn ordinary experiences into magical ones for the campers they serve. The people at Augusta are passionate, goofy, responsible, caring, and so much more! ”
