Life at Camp Icaghowan

EXCERPT: Each day, campers choose three fun-filled activities to fit their individual interests and two activities to enjoy with their cabin mates. Morning and evening reflection, rest period, and flag lowering give campers ample opportunity to recharge after a day of archery, canoeing, field games, log rolling, and more.

The entire camp joins in huge games of capture the flag, predator/prey, talent show, and campfire. By the end of the session, the Icaghowan Camp Rouser is a song near and dear to each camper’s heart.

Life at Camp

St. Croix

EXCERPT: Nearly 2,000 campers visit Camp St. Croix every summer. The 400 acres of prairie and forest on the bluffs above Lake St. Croix set the stage for campers to develop self-confidence, build character, and learn lifelong skills.

Campers enjoy family-style dining with their cabin group at each meal. Along with accommodating dietary restrictions, our kitchen staff offers up a variety of fresh fruit and a lunch and dinner salad bar so campers have a well-rounded, delicious dining experience at each meal.
