The Camp Celo Program
Gib and Annie Barrus and Barbara
Barrus Perrin share the leadership of Camp Celo.
Our family has been operating camp since 1955. Gib
and Barb have been involved with the camp most of
their lives. Gib and Annie are residents on the farm
homestead year 'round. Barb manages the winter office
from her home nearby. Our parents, Bob and Dot,
retired in 1989 but live close to the camp. We have all had
training and experience in teaching and camping and
Annie is a family nurse practitioner.

| We are members of the Society of Friends (Quakers).
The Camp Celo program is born out of the Quaker values
of nonviolence, simplicity, and environmental awareness.
Our central belief is that the Light of God exists in each
person.

|
| Our counselors are carefully chosen for their maturity, their love of children and their understanding of our methods and
philosophy. The high ratio of staff to children makes for the kind of close relationships we value. We limit the size of our
groups so we can relate directly to each child. Many campers return year after year.
