Campers are housed according to age group and gender. Campers stay in a cabin with up to 8 campers and 1 or 2 counselors.

Mini Camp: Entering 1^st – 3^rd Grades
Mini Camp is a slice of a full week of camp, with a little of everything, and a lot of extra love. Swimming, slip’n’slide, swamp walk, and s’mores are just the beginning! With a smaller counselor to camper ratio, your tikes will feel comfortable and the three days will fly by and leave them wanting to come back.

Pals: Entering 4^th-5^th Grades
Zip-line, Pontoon Boat Rides, Buddy Games, Swamp Walk, Giant Slip-n-slide, Mud-pit, Hayrides, and choose your own skill hour are just a few of the ways a Pal can have fun! The best times are spent making memories with counselors and friends in a canoe or during cabin-time. Pals will sing fun camp songs, memorize verses and learn what it means to follow Jesus.

Pioneers Entering 6^TH – 8^TH Grades
Climbing wall, pioneer expedition across Long Lake, kayaks, Rifle Range, Bible escape caboose, Human Foosball, and fishing await our middle school friends. Speaking of friends, one of the best parts of camp is getting to meet other teens who want to live for God and make friendships for a lifetime.

Crusaders Entering 9^th – 12^th grades (must be under 18)
Inverted climbing wall, high-ropes course, archery tag, stand-up paddle boards, Bivouac camp out, knee-ball, cabbage ball(mud pit), & crusader games says it all. We take your week away seriously and make it worth the effort while we explore God’s Word.

Team Timothy (15 – 17 Year Old)
We accept a limited number of campers who have unlimited potential. Sessions typically have around 6 guys and 10 girls who stay for two weeks.  The weekend between is filled with team building, relaxing, and some “TT only” adventures!  Team Timothy is about learning to serve in the dish-pit, hands-on events training, and counselor shadowing.  Expect to do dishes after each meal (1-2 hours) and the opportunity to counselor shadow for a cabin of Pals.  TTers get afternoon free time to swim, go on high adventures, visit the Trading Post, etc.   Register and apply online for a chance to join this awesome program. Space is limited!

Many TTers go on to become Summer Staff when they turn 18.  There is also an option to work on the RV Program Team and earn a free session of TT during the same summer.  TTers can’t say enough good – they actually say doing the dishes is one of the best parts.  We see leaders form and develop through this amazing program!  Campers who excel can be invited back for a second session later in the summer (with a 50% discount).

Scholarship Information

Camp Michawana uses tiered pricing so every child can experience camp. The highest tier reflects the true cost of camp, while the lower tiers are made possible through generous donors through our Send Kids to Camp Fund.

The scholarship requests below are applied to the Supported tier price.

• Full Week Camp Supported Tier: $330
• Mini / Blitz Camp Supported Tier: $200

When requesting a scholarship, you are asking for help in addition to the already supported camp price.

Some campers choose to combine a smaller scholarship with fundraising, which helps stretch our Send Kids to Camp Fund so even more campers can attend.
