About
Camp Rosenbaum includes art and science projects, leather crafts, horseback riding, and fishing. Campers also take trips to the ocean, join a sand castle contest, and tell stories around the campfire. They spend a week experiencing new adventures.
• Ages: 9–10 years old
• Schedule: One-week sessions
Since 1970, Camp Rosenbaum has offered a unique experience to low-income children from Oregon and Southwest Washington and has grown into an annual event for over 50 years. Camp Rosenbaum is open to youth ages 9–10 whose parents live in housing authority properties or who participate in the Section 8 rent assistance program. Camp Rosenbaum was inspired by its late founder, Brigadier General (Ret.) Fred M. Rosenbaum. The program has a one-to-one camper-to-staff ratio, with staff who have decades of experience. All staff and counselors are volunteers, coming from a partnership between the Oregon National Guard, Portland Police Bureau, and Home Forward, and their volunteer hours exceed 230,000. Camp Rosenbaum has provided a free camp to over 7,000 youth and has given more than 6,500 children a memorable overnight camp experience. The Camp Rosenbaum Fund is a community-building nonprofit whose mission is to provide life-enhancing opportunities for low-income young people through mentoring, camp, and athletic programs, and its programs are designed to instill good character traits, hope, and a sense that anything is possible with education, hard work, and good choices. Camp Rosenbaum has received national acclaim and awards over the years. Camp Rosenbaum does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, marital status, familial status, national origin, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or source of income or because of a need for special care.
