Description:
Camp Anokijig has been recognized for excellence in camping for 86 years. Founded in 1926, Anokijig has built a history and rich tradition of offering youth experiences that will last a lifetime. Anokijig is an Indian word meaning "We Serve" but it is also synonymous with new friends, positive values, personal growth, great adventures, and outrageous fun. When you combine that with our dedication to offering campers an experience that emphasizes values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, you have a combination that can't be beat.
Camp Anokijig is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 16. Our summer session begins June 17, 2012. Programs last from four days, one week, two weeks, or for up to nine weeks of summer fun, ending on August 18, 2012.
Anokijig is not just another place to go, it is a community...a spirit shared by all who visit. Camp Anokijig is simply an incredible time that you will always cherish. Join us; you will love it!
