Camp Osprey in the Spotlight

More Than a Camp.
A Transformation.

💛

Founded by a Mother Who Cares

Camp Osprey was created by Sandy Bembry — a registered nurse, mother of five sons, and lifelong believer that kids grow the most when they unplug, step outside, and discover their own strength.

🌟

Small by Design

We keep enrollment limited on purpose. Every camper is known by name. Every counselor is like a big brother or sister. This isn't a mega-camp — it's a place that feels like a second home.

🌿

Where Confidence Grows

Something magical happens when kids trade screens for streams. They learn to canoe, conquer a 40-foot ropes course, ride horses, and make friends that last a lifetime.
