Each day from Sunday afternoon through Saturday morning is filled with challenges and adventures that give unique opportunities to kids in a traditional camp environment. Younger and older campers will be in

separate groups. The week will start with great activities to build cabin unity including: low ropes initiatives, family style meals and afternoon cabin activities. Campers choose from a wide variety of activities to fill the mornings. Activities include: archery, riflery, high ropes, rock climbing, outdoor cooking, cheer & dance, fishing, canoeing, nature, mini~farm, sports, snorkeling, swimming, arts & crafts, Frisbee and the camp newspaper the Wakonda W***o! We'll have great water activities like creek walks, swimming, and our evening Luau. A great lineup of evening programs include the Country Hoe Down and the battle of Frozen! Campers will spend a night sleeping out with their cabin and cooking a 'Hobo' dinner on the open fire. Wakonda begins and ends its week with our rousing campfires! Outback
