Our private beachfront is the perfect place to relax, play, and enjoy the lake. Campers can take advantage of the designated swim area, water trampoline, floating dock, canoes, kayaks, beach chairs, and a beach firepit for memorable days by the water.
Alumni testimonial — community and friendships at Hiawatha
The family and the friends that I have gained from Hiawatha, it's just made me who I am. Some of the best conversations I've ever had were walking around that lake. The community, the friendships… it's just incredible.
Many of our campers are first-timers! Our staff works hard to create a welcoming, supportive environment where every camper feels included and cared for from day one.
Alumni testimonial — leadership and life lessons from Hiawatha
Hiawatha has been part of our lives for such a very long period of time. It encompasses my whole family. I was able to take those lessons we learned from Hiawatha — leadership, serving on staff — and apply them in my career and in my life.
Fun games and activities in our week-long competition between two teams; boys and girls split beach time with access to canoes, paddle boards, and inflatable water toys (like a camper favorite, the Super Trampoline!); nightly devotions with your cabin and counselors to reflect on the messages, bond as a cabin, and grow together in the Lord.
