Camp Chief Ouray believes that every child deserves a high-quality and nature-filled camp experience. By promoting the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace alongside the Core Values of the YMCA, Camp Chief Ouray can ensure that camp stays beautiful and fun for future generations. We instill Leave No Trace ethics in all parts of camp, from our dining hall to our backcountry trips. We encourage our campers to bring their experience home with them through new knowledge and stories of their time at Camp Chief Ouray .
The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics provides proven, research-based solutions for the protection of the natural world. Learn more at LNT.org
The above statement and CCO specific Leave No Trace Principles were developed with the help of the CCO Youth Leadership Board in April 2019.
