Welcome to Camp Batawagama
SPRING UPDATE: MARCH 21, 2021
Dear Batawagama Campers and Parents,
We are looking forward to the return of Camp Batawagama in the summer of 2022 and
resuming all of our long-standing Camp programs and traditions of Senior Days. Band Camp,
and Youth Camp. We were able to make many improvements to the camp during the summer
of 2020 and we are planning significant projects this coming summer of 2021 that will greatly
enhance the existing camp facilities.
Our projects for this coming summer of 2021 at camp will be to complete the new staff cabin,
fondly known as Dumpsville, finish the renovations to the camp kitchen, which consist of
upgrading the cabinets, resurfacing the entire kitchen floor and the floor in the cookout
preparation area. A new Hobart dishwasher will be installed along with stainless steel counters
and stainless-steel walls. We will also be replacing three, long overdue roofs on the A-Section
cabins and building an entirely new C-Section Boys Bathroom.
I would like to thank the Citizens of Iron County for their continued support for the many
improvements at the Camp. Thank you to the Friends of Camp Batawagama for supporting
programs and funding many building projects at the Youth Camp during the past twenty-five
years. Thank You to the Dickinson Area Community Foundation and the Forest Park Student
Advisory Board for their grants in 2020 and 2021, which enabled the Camp to purchase six more
paddle boards and twenty-four/ four-man tents. Thank you to the John E. Force Forestry
Education Fund for their grant which made the purchase of twelve new overnight backpacks
possible.
Continue to check our website for photo updates on our summer 2021 renovations.
We hope that you and your family will be enjoying a safe summer.
We look forward to seeing you all again in 2022.
Sincerely,
Brian Schulze

What's New This Winter
Camp Batawagama for four generations has been offering an unique experience for campers young and young at heart. Camp Batawagama is nestled in the woods on the shores of Indian Lake, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is a welcoming escape from the busy electronic age we find ourselves living in today. Camp Batawagama was established in 1945 by two Iron County educators who were committed to creating an outdoor education experience for young people; a place they could come to learn camping skills and how to work together all while sharing an appreciation for the wilderness. Camp Batawagama continues today to provide a safe and wholesome environment surrounded by nature with a sound and moral philosophy of fairness and respect for one another. This summer camping for many is the adventure of a life-time.
