For over 100 years, Camp Mary Orton (CMO) has provided character building outdoor adventure and summer camp programs for Columbus inner city northside youth at virtually no cost to campers. Combined with camp’s other services including youth leadership development, educational and recreational programs and team building), over 100,000 Central Ohio residents have benefited from CMO services since 2000 alone.
CMO has 167 acres of beautiful fields, creeks and ravines in a unique location just north of I-270 in Columbus. Our goal is for CMO to become self-sustaining in order to continue to expand these valuable community services. To this end, camp offers several revenue-generating services and partners with United Way Community cares programs.
