Summer Camp 2021 at Wanakee - We're Back!

Overnight summer camp is back for summer 2021! We can’t wait to see you. Watch the video above or read on for details.

OVERVIEW

  • The schedule will look a bit different [for this year only] to account for changes due to Covid-19

  • We will be open at reduced capacity – 3-4 sites, 30 to 40 campers each week. We expect to fill up quickly.

  • State guidance and science will guide our operations this summer. We will share our Covid-19 policies and practices in the coming weeks.

 SCHEDULE

  • The schedule will be out and registration will be open by Friday, 4/23

  • Week 1 will be for campers completing grades 4-8, plus LITs ages 16-18

  • Week 1 will begin Sunday 6/27 and run until Friday July 2

FOR FAMILIES WHO DONATED OR ROLLED THEIR 2020 FEES 

  • If you donated or rolled your 2020 camp fee, THANK YOU again for supporting us in this tough moment.

  • Those who rolled or donated can expect to receive a link via email for priority registration before we open it to the everyone. This period will run 3-4 days.

CAMPER FEE UPDATE

  • Due to the inspiring support of our community, and because we recognize that the last 13 months have caused personal and financial pain for so many families, our 2021 camper fees will be the same as summer 2020.

  • However, we need to be transparent that camp is going to cost us significantly more to run in 2021. We will be inviting families who are able to do so to help us cover the many expenses unique to this year.

  • We will also be counting on you, our community of friends and alumni for support. You’ve proven we can trust you, so we are. Your astounding support in 2020 got us this point, and we can’t wait to see what you do next. Stay tuned for some remarkable news on the generosity front!

SUMMER STAFF NEEDED 

  • Our staff is coming together beautifully, but we have key openings for female counselors. A summer changing lives at Wanakee is surely the perfect antidote to the last 13 months. Apply now at wanakee.campbrainstaff.com

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE

Re-opening camp and completing all our typical preparations on a condensed timeframe while also plotting the course to maximize the safety of our community during a pandemic is a HUGE amount of work. Please bear with us as our year-round staff of 2 works overtime alongside our volunteers to make it happen. 

We CANNOT WAIT to get back to what we know and love in our 60th year!
