About

Nawakwa Summer Camp includes activities such as hiking, outdoor chapels, playing fields, volleyball, basketball, a ropes course, and swimming. The camp setting includes outdoor chapels, playing areas, and a swimming pool that are used for these activities. Every week at Nawakwa Summer Camp, weather permitting, begins and ends with worship at one of the outdoor worship areas, which include Upper Temple, Fischer Chapel, and Bishop Chapel. Campers also take part in community living through Bible study, worship, recreation, crafts, and nature study.

Nawakwa Summer Camp has been an outdoor gathering place for Lutherans since 1929. The camp’s mission statement is: “The Church in a place and time apart where Christ’s love is experienced and faith is renewed.” Nawakwa Summer Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, which means it complies with research-based standards in camp operation, including staff qualifications and training, water safety procedures, food services, health care, operational practices, and emergency management. The camp identifies Director Kelsey Tomlinson as its director. Being part of a Lutheran Christian community at Nawakwa has helped many campers grow in their personal faith, in their self-confidence, and in their interactions with others. In addition to summer camp, Nawakwa offers programs in the spring, winter, and fall, and its facilities are available throughout the year for rental use for events.
