Parks & Recreation Vision/Mission Statements

In October 2021, the Parks and Recreation Commission established an updated Parks and Recreation vision and mission statements, as well as the goals for the updated PROS Plan. Both were informed by community input. This vision and mission statement, along with the PROS Plan goals, will guide the work of the Parks and Recreation department in the coming years.

VISION:

We envision Camas as a thriving, cohesive community that honors a unique legacy of coordinated parks, trails, natural areas and diverse recreation opportunities highlighted by our lakes, rivers and streams. Stewardship and thoughtful enhancement of these assets ensure a safe, healthy, active and balanced lifestyle for all.

MISSION:

Camas Parks and Recreation promotes a healthy and sustainable community by listening and responding to the community’s needs and desires, protecting and preserving its natural spaces to improve ecological health, and developing and maintaining parks, trails and recreation programs that are welcoming for all.
