ABOUT CAMP
Overnight Camps
Summer Camp at Camp Nawakwa
Through camping, youth from diverse backgrounds develop important skills such as socialization, self-reliance, problem solving and an appreciation of and commitment to the natural environment. They make their own decisions, have fun and are adventurous. Through a group living experience, youth learn more about themselves and others. Individuals become friends, and they learn understanding, acceptance and trust.
A relaxed, open atmosphere in a natural environment provides children with relief from the stress of daily experiences. Children can learn to be successful in a variety of activities at camp. Success builds a feeling of self-confidence and a desire to further develop newly acquired skills.
Our Outdoor Programs
Camp Fire Camp Nawakwa is accredited by the American Camp Association?. The American Camp Association? (ACA) shares our camp’s commitment to the growth of youth through the camp experience. In 2004, an independent research firm completed the largest research study of camper outcomes ever conducted in the United States with over 3,000 families from 92 camps across the U.S. participating. Results confirmed that camp builds many of the skills necessary to prepare campers to assume roles as successful adults. Parents, campers, and camp staff independently reported growth in areas such as self-confidence, learning new skills, getting along with others, making friends, and making healthy decisions. Indeed, camp provides growth experiences for youth that can reap results through adulthood.
Using the specific outcomes identified for the outdoor program and understanding how they are an intentional part of the design of all outdoor programs is essential to helping Camp Fire achieve its mission.
This happens when both parents and campers understand the contribution the experience has made to their lives…and when boards, funders, volunteers, and staff understand how they have contributed to helping young people, as they grow to adults; acquire skills to be caring, confident youth and future leaders.

Family Camp
“This is a great experience for the whole family.The food was fantastic, the staff were very flexible and they really looked out for our kids”.
The combination of new challenges, new adventures and new friends makes every day at Camp Nawakwa better than the last. There is always a strong emphasis on building family togetherness, and enjoying new things in a relaxed, friendly environment. It is a wonderful opportunity for the generations to be united. Our qualified and highly experienced program staff supervises all of our activities.
For parents, the Family Camp experience is a great way to spend serious quality time with their children, in a setting that is designed for fun all day, every day. There are many special adult activities planned as well, like the Parents Night Out event, in which camp staff offer an evening program for the kids while mom and dad have the "night off".
