Camp Outlook, located in Connell, Washington, is a military-style basic training camp for juvenile offenders, based on the U.S. Marine Corps recruit training model and partnered with some of the newest and most innovative treatment programs used today. Non-violent and non-sex offender youth accepted into the Camp Outlook program can earn release to Intensive Parole supervision in the community earlier than they would from a traditional institution program. Camp Outlook services also include academic programming and cognitive/behavioral skills building.
Mission
To provide a safe, secure, highly structured and disciplined military environment for boys and girls, by holding them accountable for their own behaviors and assisting them in making pro social and responsible life decisions through individual and group counseling, education, and physical training, so that upon graduation into their communities they will be prepared to lead lives that are both productive and crime free.
The basic training camp experience is designed as a two-part program: the first 120 days at Camp Outlook teaches the foundation for responsible living, and the second part is aftercare, which assists the youth and family in designing a support network and transition plan for returning to the community. Research has demonstrated that a transition plan is essential for continued success outside the camp.
Camp Outlook has been in operation since April of 1997, contracting with the State of Washington to provide juvenile services to male and female offenders between the ages of 14 and 19. Using an integrated treatment model (military discipline, physical training, formal education and treatment/rehabilitation and after), the program has achieved positive results with low recidivism rates. Recently Camp Outlook has also been integrating high-risk youth, not committed to the State, into the Basic Training Camp program.
Join us March 3 to learn more about the history of Camp Outlook and how they use quality tools and techniques relative to strategic planning, stakeholder involvement, communications, training, performance measures, and more.
