“We believe that an experience at camp is an instrumental part of creating successful and engaged adults who can care for themselves and the community around them,” says Hannah Wisman, the director of Camp Anokijig.
The magic of camp – forging friendships, learning new skills, challenging yourself physically and mentally, being a part of nature and a larger community – can be cost prohibitive for many families. Camp Anokijig’s goal is to never turn a child away due to their family’s financial situation.
The camp offers annual scholarships, enabling over 3,000 children to attend since 2007. Anokijig awards partial, as well as full, scholarships – in 2024, 64% of the scholarships were full, and the average “campership” covered over $943 of the $995 cost for a full week of resident summer camp.
Donations not only support these scholarships, but also help the camp’s Bridge to the Future capital campaign. The $6.9 million goal will help construct the multiuse Centennial Lodge at the camp. “The new building will be a health facility, storm shelter, dining facility, and office space, allowing us to serve the community year-round,” says Wisman. The project also includes improvements to the Western Lodge dining hall and staff housing upgrades.
In addition to financial contributions, Camp Anokijig thrives with the help of many volunteers. From teen leaders to weekend program volunteers, a dedicated team brings the magic of camp to life every season, and throughout the year.
