Summer Camp Activities

Wanakee offers many varying events for all ages; each day differs depending upon the event.

Because of our unique small-group focus on relationships, you live, work, play, and pray with your friends in your site.

Depending upon age and the event you registered for, activities may also include drama practice, ropes course, canoeing or row-boating, music practice, rock climbing, crafts, travel trips, and more.

Wanakee games are non-competitive to better facilitate relationships and teamwork.

Pricing

We are proud that all of our camp programs cost well below the industry average of $2,690/week for overnight camp, and grateful for our partnership with the New England Annual Conference of the UMC, whose financial support ensures we are able to reach as many families as possible. Without their help, our programs would have cost $1,405 for the 2024 season.

As we prepare for another amazing summer, we're excited to share some upcoming changes to help you prepare for another summer with us at Wanakee.

To simplify and streamline the registration process, we're transitioning to a standard pricing model. Full weeks at camp will cost $890 and half week camps will cost $445.

To ensure Wanakee remains affordable for all families, we're enhancing our current discounts and introducing new discounts, including:

5% Paid In Full Discount: Pay your balance in full before 5/31/25 and receive 5% off your household total.

Updated Early Registration Discounts: Receive $100 off a full week of camp if your camper is registered by 2/28/25, $50 off if registered by 3/31/25, and $25 off if registered by 4/30/25.

To see the complete list of discounts and for more information on summer camp pricing, please visit our registration information page.

Additionally, our campership program will continue to provide support for all families who want to send their children to camp.

At Wanakee, we remain deeply committed to ensuring that every child can access the camp experience, regardless of financial need. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Wanakee for another unforgettable summer!
