SUMMER COMES ALIVE AT CAMP!www.campwabansi.org

INTRODUCTIONWhen your child tells you about their adventures at YMCA Camp Wabansi, you’ll hear all about boating, swimming, singing camp songs, shooting bows and arrows, building campfires, creating art, close encounters with wildlife, playing sports, taking nature hikes, team-building, and endless fun. In fact, they are returning home with new skills, interests, character values, and amazing memories. When you snap a photo of your child being recognized by their own counselor at Family Night for the way they cared for a fellow camper, played with good sportsmanship, or acted as a role model for others, you will truly know the essence of the Camp Wabansi experience.

ABOUT CAMP WABANSI Camp Wabansi is just a short bus ride from Green Bay located in Door County, Wisconsin. Camp is nestled in 35 wooded acres on an incredible Green Bay waterfront and is equipped with modern restrooms.

We are rich in traditions - we’ve been providing quality summer day camp for 65 years!

Safety is our #1 priority. We are accredited by the American Camp Association by satisfying hundreds of programming and safety standards.

Campers are carefully placed into small groups with other campers of similar age and same gender. Our counselors ride the bus with the campers and they are all certified in CPR and First Aid.

Campers bring their own bag lunches during the week. We provide an afternoon snack each day.

Some campers sign up with a friend, but many don’t and they make lots of new friends.

Come for one week, or come for more! With a variety of themes and specialty camps, the camp experience is different every single week.

YMCA Camp Wabansi is accredited by the American

Camp Association. Learn more by visiting www.acacamps.org.
