Common Ground adventure day camp

Growing kids’ confidence, kindness, and curiosity through outdoor adventure.

Give your child an unforgettable experience filled with exploration, friendship, and outdoor adventure. Common Ground Adventure Day Camp is designed for kids ages 7–12 who are ready to discover some of Central Oregon’s most exciting natural spaces while building confidence, curiosity, and connection.

Each day features a unique destination or two, hands-on experiences, and guided activities and lessons led by a caring team of adults who prioritize safety, encouragement, and fun. Along the way, campers will reflect on simple, meaningful lessons about courage, kindness, perseverance, and community—drawing from stories in the life of Jesus as well as other impactful moments and figures from history. These reflections are shared in an open, welcoming way that invites curiosity and personal growth, ensuring every child—regardless of background or beliefs—can engage, belong, and find value in the experience.

Here are a few additional details to help you plan with confidence:

  • All volunteers have completed thorough background checks to ensure a safe and trusted environment for every child.

  • Registration is offered on a per-day basis, giving you the flexibility to choose the days that best fit your schedule and your child’s interests.

  • Each day is intentionally limited to 35 campers, allowing for a more personal, engaging experience.

  • All adventures begin and end at Three Sisters Adventist Christian School, conveniently located just off Highway 97 between Redmond and Bend.
