What Our Happy Campers Have to Say

  • Family Camp Nawakwa has allowed us to make new lifelong friends, have a safe place to vacation, and have a week all together to make memories. All in all, it’s a bargain compared to flying to a destination with a family, eating out all meals, hotels, and paying for all separate activities.
    - Past Camper
  • I’ve been coming to Family Camp Nawakwa since I was 13 and have such fond memories of it. I introduced my husband to camp, and he has fallen in love with it, too. Now, we have two daughters who can build memories there and who have labeled Family Camp Nawakwa as their “happy place.” It is so nice to have a place to go where you can unplug and just enjoy time with your family and other campers.
    - Past Camper
  • Family Camp Nawakwa has allowed several generations of my family to spend time together — sometimes doing our own thing, sometimes doing things as a group. It’s the perfect balance and variety of activities and space to meet everyone’s needs, where everyone can meet in the middle. Camp is such a special and unique place and experience. I can’t thank the camp staff enough for all of the hard work you put into it; your love and care for the place really shows.
    - Past Camper
  • Family Camp Nawakwa has kept our extended family relationships much stronger throughout several generations — providing a treasured location where we can always count on gathering year after year. In many cases, camp friends have also become part of our family.
    - Past Camper 
  • As city-dwellers, we have found that our children thrive in an environment like Family Camp Nawakwa. We love spending a week or two together with little interruption, and we love that the kids are safe to run around wild-ish for the length of our stay.
