The parents of Williamson, Rutherford and Davidson counties have voted Camp Widjiwagan Day Camp the #1 day camp in the area for eight years in a row.

Camp is a powerful experience that can strengthen the values parents teach each day. Camp Widjiwagan strives to provide a unique, quality adventure that, by its very nature, enhances your camper's potential in spirit, mind and body.

Camp Widjiwagan is the ultimate in day camping: an action-packed, adventure-filled summer experience designed to help develop competence in camp skills and life skills. Daily opportunities to learn the art of cooperation and make good choices offer an ideal setting for character development.

Through the day camp experience, campers will have the opportunity to grow physically, mentally and spiritually. At YMCA Camp Widjiwagan we focus on three main goals for every young man and young woman:

Forge Friendships
Strengthen Confidence
Sharpen Character

Widjiwagan is an Ojibwa word meaning close, lifelong friend. Because of the nature of teamwork required at Camp Widjiwagan, campers will not only learn more about themselves and their surroundings; they will create lasting friendships, too.

Keep in mind that Camp Widjiwagan Day Camp has an open Doors policy and is available to all children grades 1st-8th grade, from all backgrounds, abilities and incomes. No child should miss the opportunity to spend an unforgettable summer filled with new friends and new experiences.
