Camp Menominee is a residential summer camp located in Northern Wisconsin. We specialize in athletics, outdoor education and youth development. We have an amazing group of campers and staff from around the world each summer. Our campers come from all over the world as well to work with our coaches and instructors in skill based instruction and competition. Our mission is to help unlock the potential of our campers so they can be the best version of themselves. We don’t think it is enough to simply teach our boys how to swing a bat, get up on water-skis or shoot a bullseye. Campers today are capable of so much more and we want to help bring out the best in each of them. Behind our dynamic program is a set of core values that guides us. We promote personal development and teamwork so that the boy your son wants to be, will grow at Camp Menominee.
Our staff consists of former campers, new American staff and internationals visiting from all over the world. Many campers choose to return to camp as counselors. Why? They remember all of the counselors that made an impact on their lives. They want to have the same positive impact on current campers. Whether you’re a former camper or her...e for your first summer, you too can make a lasting impression on our campers.Working at camp also provides the staff the chance to develop important skills for life. Counselors have come to our boys sports camp and left better leaders. They have also improved key teamwork and communication skills. Teachers and coaches love spending their summer with us. Finally, a summer at camp fosters friendships that will last forever. We have staff from all over the world with all sorts of stories, interests, and talents to share. Every staff member makes connections with new friends that could only happen at camp. It’s nice to know that when you travel around the world you have friends everywhere!
