New National Holiday - I Love Camp Day
February 1, 2023
75 Years and Counting
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.
WHAT’S NEW AT BATAWAGAMA?
This has been a busy time at Batawagama. The snow is finally melting, and the weather is warming up. We are now able to resume with some of our Springtime projects. During the past two weeks L&H Utility Contractors from Aura, Wisconsin finished boring a new waterline for Camp. This waterline extends 1200 feet underground from the Stambaugh’s Main Waterline at Pentoga Park to the center of Camp. It replaces the original waterline that was put in by the CCC in 1940. We are very thankful to Iron County’s Committee (ARPA) American Rescue Plan Act, who awarded the Camp this Federal Grant and made it possible to complete the waterline project.
Special Thanks!
