The Camp Celo ProgramThe Barrus and Perrin family has lived on the Camp Celo homestead and welcomed a diverse group of campers and staff every summer for nearly 70 years. Our camp is situated within the Celo Community, an approximately 1,100 acre shared property established in the 1930s. Camp Celo is surrounded by our privately managed wilderness areas and vast expanses of splendid National Forest.
Drew Perrin leads Camp Celo with his wife, Carly, and a dedicated team of seasonal directors, nurses, kitchen staff, and farm managers. Drew's grandparents Bob and Dot began running the camp in 1955. They finished passing the leadership to their children in 1989. The 2nd generation camp directors, Gib, Barb, and Annie retired between 2013 and 2018. They reside in the Celo Community and continue to collaborate in care of the land, animals, and farm. |

| We are members of the Society of Friends (Quakers).
The Camp Celo program is born out of the Quaker values
of nonviolence, simplicity, and environmental awareness.
Our central belief is that the Light of God exists in each
person.
We are nurtured by our alumni organization, Friends of Camp Celo. |
|
| Our counselors are carefully chosen for their maturity, their love of children and their understanding of our methods and philosophy. The high ratio of staff to children makes for the kind of close relationships we value. We limit the size of our groups so we can relate directly to each child. Many campers return year after year. |
