History / Legend

The legend of Princess Oochigeas tells the story of a young girl who showed great courage and determination in overcoming physical hardships. Her inner courage and gentle strength reflect that of Ooch campers ― their brave spirits make all things possible.

At Oochigeas, we sum it up by saying our camp motto: “You have failed only when you have failed to try. Act as if it were impossible to fail and it will be.”
