A summer camp for exceptional kids
A summer camp for exceptional kids
" Camp was the thing I looked forward to more than anything for 6 years. It became more than a home away from home; camp became part of me because it represents true happiness and a sense of belonging. Part of my identity, even to this day, is camp, all because I fell in love with the people who made camp."
-Chris Hayes (CCCC alum)

Our Story
Our Story
Charles "Chuck" Campbell was one of many Lions members instrumental in our camps founding. According to Lions' historians Jerry and Doug, Mr. Campbell was a long time Elks Club member and had worked at the camp for the decade or so when the Elks ran the weeklong camp. Due to financial limitations it was decided by the Elks to end the camp in the 1960's.
Mr. Campbell approached the Billings Lions Club about assuming responsibility of the camp and continuing its legacy. In 1961 the Lions Club embraced the then called Handicapped Kids Camp, with Mr. Campbell taking the reign as Lions chairman of the camp for more than a decade. The first director was Inez Jamison, the director of the Montana Center for Handicapped Children at EMC, now MSUB, who served for 20+ years.
Mr. Campbell was instrumental in Lions throughout the state and district serving as President of the Billings Lions Club in 1966-1967, and as the first District Governor to be elected to office twice in 1972-1973 and 1973-1974.
Following his death in 1982, the Billings Lions Club honored Mr. Campbell's dedication and legacy by renaming the camp the "Charles Campbell Children's Camp". Because of his foresight and determination to continue the greatness of Camp, many lives have been affected for the past six plus decades.
