Create Lifelong Friendships and Memories

Many of our campers begin their camp adventure not knowing anyone. Camp Lakota’s warm and nurturing environment is the perfect backdrop for building new friendships, and in no time they will be creating memories and enjoying fun-filled adventures over the course of 6 weeks.

Why 6 Weeks?

We know families juggle a lot—school, whether it’s calendars, vacations, activities, and everything in between.

That’s why our program is designed to work with a wide range of schedules across the country, making it easier for your child to join our full six-week session. When everyone arrives together and stays together, campers build deeper friendships, feel more connected, and create memories that truly last.
