Mission & Values
Camp Tuttle is an independent non-profit camp and retreat center. We serve an increasingly diverse community of groups and individuals seeking connection and restorative experiences in nature. Tuttle has been associated with The Episcopal Church since 1958 and is open to all. We welcome more than 500 guests annually to our “little corner of the world.”
Our Mission
At Camp Tuttle, we embrace youth and families from a variety of backgrounds - embracing the diversity of Creation in our participants experiences of age, ability, race, language, sexual orientation, and gender backgrounds. We strive to create a fully inclusive culture and environment that values equality and fosters respect for all people. We understand Christian spirituality as a shared journey from which no one should be excluded. In alignment with our values, vision, and mission, Camp Tuttle welcomes all people as guests and full participants in our programs. We are committed to ensuring connection and inclusion among participants, staff, and administrators by adhering to loving accountability practices. We acknowledge that the pursuit of justice toward justice is an ongoing learning process and that we always have room to grow and extend our hospitality.
Challenge
Campers and counselors work to create a safe place to challenge comfort zones, societal norms, thinking patterns, and understanding of the life and world around them.
Connection
Camp Tuttle provides a safe space for spiritual, environmental, social, and personal transformation. We provide abundant opportunities to connect with self, others, nature, and the Divine.
Creation
Mountain peaks and rushing rivers root us deeply to God and call for action in protecting, sustaining, and nurturing the creation for which we are all responsible.
