Enjoy more than 50 activities including color wars, kickball, capture the flag, a camp dance, healthy meals, face painting and stargazing.

 

Camp Wandawega

Accommodation at Elkhorn, Wis.’s lakeside getaway includes airstream trailers, teepees, rustic cabins and a three-story tree house. Camp Wandawego allows campgoers to make their stay more personal. In addition to classic camp activities, take part in Michelin-starred dinners complete with bourbon pairings.
