Activities

Camp Widjiwagan teaches the art of cooperation and the benefits of teamwork through the Dog Tag system. A wide variety of land and water sports are offered. Experienced staff members provide coaching and individual instruction in all activities, challenging campers to excel while learning new skills.

Warrior and Thunderbird Program
All are designed to provide a safe, supportive environment where children can have fun and learn new skills. Campers develop independence by exploring their own interests each day. With help from their counselor, campers decide each day which activities to pursue, working through the activities increasing levels of skills and competence. Progress is recorded as campers learn more and more, and achievements are carried over from summer to summer. Self-confidence and good sportsmanship are reinforced through individual instruction and group activities. All overnight campers will have the opportunity to learn to ski, wakeboard or kneeboard.
