Ojibwa played a large roll in my life. I still consider those summers as a camper as some of the best times of my life. It's one of the experiences that I could share with my family members who also went, which I always really liked about it. The camp is competitive, but I felt that it helped prepare me for what is a competitive workplace and competitive world. I learned life lessons, learned to sail, learned to win gracefully, learned to lose with honor, and learned that I still wish every week were Collegiate Week. Oh and I won in '91. :P Something I still consider to be one of my great life achievements.

Lots of sports competitions internally and with other camps. Lots of goal setting for personal growth of each individual camper. Lots of fun, creative evening programming. Daily activities are great and the facility is just beautiful ( that water front is amazing). Nice balance between structured activities and more non structured free choice activities/ down time. My children adore everything about Kawaga. They have made great friends from all over the USA who they look forward to re connecting with each summer.

WONDERFUL CAMP FOR BOYS! My oldest son went there and didn't know anyone. He had just finished 5th…read moregrade, and turned out to be one of best experiences of his life. He met some great boys, and gained so much confidence in himself, as well as maturity. Upon returning from Camp Highlands - he was a much stronger person! This has since served him well in high school. The Bachmann family has done an incredible job to keep the camp based on basic principles, they call them Camper Qualities and there are 16 of them: Character, Friendship, Leadership, Respect, Responsible, etc.... This is a camp camp - it's not a sports camp. They do plenty of sports, but they also do other fun activities like fishing, woodworking, etc... We've since send our other son there, and its been a good experience for him. It's a nice escape from the North Shore of Chicago.

We we are and have made it a permenant family vacation each year as long as we can. The camp coordinators (especailly Matt) are just great and do a fabulous job making more activities than you can even do. The North Camp is definately the place to be if you want to the great beach where most of the kids are. Kirby is best keeping everything running like clockwork and really understands what the families want and even asked more then once what we liked most and if therr was anything we would improve on. My kids meet so many new friends that it was hard to keep track of them, yet I really fel t safe allowing them to be out of my site. You have really "good" people stay there that have been for years and decades in some cases.

On top of that, the vast majority of the family campers make it a tradition to come the same week every year, many spanning several generations and several decades or more. The camp has been around for 100 years, and you can feel the tradition and organization that result from that. There is also a simplicity that I respect here, as should be in any protected woodland area visited by us human beings, as we invade upon the homes of our animal and plant friends. Our family came for the first time this past summer, and every expectation was met, and then some. I would definitely go back. The fellow campers are friendly and relaxed; as is the staff. They have a daily schedule prepared for the entire week full of various activities for all ages so that the whole family can find enjoyable options. The entire staff, and especially the leader (executive director?), Kirby is organized, friendly, and just feel sincere and like an extension of family. My only complaint was the weather. We came the third week of August, and fall arrived. I was still yearning to hang out in my bathing suit at the beach to catch some rays and leisurely enjoy the many watercrafts and sporting options there. Instead, I wore sweatshirts and hoodies all week. Many would love this weather. I suffer through the cold winters of Chicago and don't get nearly enough summer like weather, so I can't sacrifice a hot Chicago summer week, and need to return in the month of July only. This place has an even shorter summer than Chicago! The camp is open year round, and many would enjoy the winter wonderland and tubing here in the snowy winter; not me.
