Now in its 57th year, Camp Wahanowin helps kids ages 7–15 celebrate the golden days of summer with a fun residential summer camp on the gilded waters of Lake Couchiching. With more than 30 activities ranging from climbing and ziplining to the creative arts, campers are sure to find interesting ways to pass the time while they bond with friends over a vintage tumbler of private-stock bug juice. Campers conquer the waters with sailing, swimming lessons, and multiday canoe trips, and take to the hills to mountain bike or navigate the high ropes course. The camp also has plenty of land activities such as baseball, football, soccer, and basketball, as well as arts and crafts and theater. Most activity periods are scheduled, but a typical day also allows for a little downtime to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Much of the qualified staff at Camp Wahanowin has been trained by Wahanowin's CIT training program, and many participated in the camp during their childhood. Cabins comfortably nestle 8–12 campers depending on age group, and all are equipped with water, electricity, bunk beds, and express carrier pigeons for writing home. The camp also nurtures its habitants with a full cafeteria for delicious and healthy meals and snacks, a weekly laundry service that prepares delicious and healthy clothes, and an on-site medical center with four nurses and a doctor.

Camp Wahanowin is not a fully accessible site. Parents of campers with special needs should contact the camp director before purchasing this Groupon.
