Camp Esquagama

Camp Esquagama "Giving Kids Time To Be Kids" to us means days full of adventure, discovery, and the freedom to explore.

Camp provides opportunities for youth to build self-confidence, develop meaningful relationships, and gain lifelong skills. At Camp Esquagama, we believe one week can change a child's world. Kids who come to camp create lasting friendships, build self-confidence, and most importantly have fun just being a kid! Our history begins in 1935 when we built our historic main lodge on the shores of Lake E

squagama near Biwabik, MN. We've had kids with diverse ethnic and social backgrounds spending their summer with us ever since. Kids participate in activities with other campers the same age, sleep in modern bunkhouse log cabins, and enjoy the sandy beaches and pine forest our camp has to offer!

We’ve been hard at work training our staff on the most important parts of camp life... 🎨 Tie-Dye, 🔥 Campfires, and of course... 🍫 S’mores.

We’re down to just a couple more days until Week 1 campers arrive, and we can’t wait to fill camp with laughter, adventure, friendship, and memories once again.

Who’s ready for summer camp?! 🌲☀️🏕️

A huge thank you to the AmeriCorps NCCC, Class 31C, Grizzly 5 Team for all of their hard work at Camp Esquagama this past year!
