GRADES: 6-12 (IN FALL 2025)

Fish daily with friends and our master fisherman, Brian Zimmerman! Travel to fish in rivers and lakes and learn about the fish species that live there. The week includes an overnight fishing trip to a nearby lake and a canoe trip down the Tuscarawas River to fish.

Bring your pole and tackle box or use a Wanake pole. There will be opportunities to swim, explore the Bible, cook out, play games, and enjoy s’mores. Live in Cabins near the lake.

If your camper requires a specific housing option, please contact Wanake to arrange for their housing.

My child loved her counselor and the friends she made the most. She loved that her counselor prayed with them daily and sang to them.

I enjoyed Morning Watch because we got a chance to listen to God speak to us.

When I became a counselor I found that working as a team of two taught me how to be in positive, healthy relationships with others.

I took another look at Bible stories I’ve read before, looking at them from a different point of view.

At home, I don’t really connect with God, but now I am going to try my hardest to do so. Wanake makes me a better person. I love it.

Camper

I am constantly in awe of the real-world skills working at camp taught me, and so many of them apply to me daily!

Summer Staff Member

My daughter loved everything! I think the frog pond, making friends, and singing songs ranked pretty high because she kept returning to those experiences.

Camper Parent

I did feel challenged this week at Wanake to be my best and become a better person because I tried lots of things I probably wouldn’t have.

Real friends aren’t measured in years, they’re measured in connection and happiness - making you feel like your best self.

The best part of camp was my child being able to have pure fun, encouraging kindness, and making new friends. She also said the food was delicious!

I feel that living without electricity, running water, and mattresses made me realize how grateful I am for the things I have, but also know I can live without them.

Camper

I am coming back to camp next summer because these weeks here have been some of the best in my entire life!
