Community Engagement
Serving nonprofits and those in need in our city in 75 minute segments the week of July 12th - 15th
What is Community Engagement?
We started Camp 75 eleven years ago with teams of middle school and high school students putting on 75 minutes camps for kids all around our community. While those camps are still a significant part of what we do, we’ve expanded our vision to love and serve our community in as many ways as possible. Today, we partner with volunteer coordinators and staff members at nonprofit organizations, children's homes, senior centers, homeless shelters, and more to love our city however we can.
Details
Our Teams
Our teams are made up of 6-7 middle school and high school students, ranging from ages 12-18. We can send just 1 team, or as many as needed to make this event possible.

We want our students to dream of how they can make an impact in our city, and serving with your organization is a huge part of that.
Some of the Organizations We've Partnered With
You've got questions.
We've got answers.
No! We are happy to have hosts that don’t attend Northpoint, we do however ask you to attend one of our trainings.
Because we're coordinating over 40 teams with roughly 300 students or so, we are locked into those 3 time slots. There may be slight flexibility, but we need to keep it in those parameters generally.
Contact your director, or email us at camp75@npaustin.com! We'd love to answer any questions you may have.

Every team will have at least one adult driver, and at times more will be present. If you have a specific student to adult ratio, we can work this out ahead of time.

No. Camp 75 is a local retreat which means your student will come home each night after camp 75 is over for the day. Students have a break from 11:30am till 3:45pm each day. They will need to be picked up from Northpoint, or arrange for other transportation.
Before leaving for bootcamp you will place all of your student's medication in a bag. When you arrive to drop your student off for bootcamp you will fill out the dosage and times for the medication to be taken. There will be a registered nurse who will be administering the medication on site.
It’s up to you, but we encourage hosts to hold camp in their front yard so your neighbors can see all the fun going on and to encourage more people to come, but if you feel like your backyard is a better environment for the kids and students we will leave that up to you.

There is not a registration fee to drive for Camp 75. Other than gas in your car, it is nice to have a cooler with some drinks and snacks for the students you are driving. This is not a requirement, but fun to have. In the past, some drivers have taken their team to Sonic for drinks or even to lunch. This is up to you and not a requirement.
