CAMP WYANDOT

Camp Wyandot is the pride and joy of our council, and the center of
many of our outdoor programs. Situated along Clear Creek in the
beautiful Hocking Hills, Camp Wyandot is home to historic cabins and
lodges, a lake, swimming pool, and even endangered plant species.

Our caring staff and volunteers serve youth in many ways! (Use the Camp
Wyandot drop-down menu for further information on any topic.)

Camp Wyandot summer camp
For several weeks each summer, our council supports Camp Wyandot
resident camp for youth. Children live in small cabins with their
counselor for a week at a time. A typical day begins with flag raising
and breakfast in the dining hall, includes hiking, games and survival
skills, and ends with the children falling asleep to quiet camp songs
and the sound of frogs as night falls on the valley.

Partnerships with community groups
Our staff and volunteers also host community groups who wish to gather
at camp for a day, weekend, or week. We can provide nature hikes,
instruction in outdoor skills, meals in the dining hall, and activities
that foster youth development. If your group already has activities or a
specific need in mind (for example, a bereavement camp, a company
retreat or a summer camp experience for adult women) please give us a
call. We can accommodate most needs, providing as much or as little
support as is required.

Special events
Camp Wyandot is also host to several special events and family camping
weekends. (See drop-down menu for links…)

Cabin and camp rental
Camp Wyandot is also available for rental by private parties, such as a
scouting troop, a wedding party, or simply a group of friends who want
to spend a weekend roasting marshmallows and hiking the trails.

CAMP ATAGAHI AT CAMP WYANDOT
A Camp for Children Who Have Lost a Loved One

When a child loses someone they love the experience is heart-wrenching and often tramatic. Children experience grief on a different level than adults and often feel alone. Grief Camp is a place of peace and healing for a child, as everyone there has experienced the death of a loved one. The peaceful setting of our beautiful Hocking Hills camp will help the campers through their grieving process. The camp is named for Lake Atagahi, located in the center of camp, which is the namesake of a mythical Lakota lake with healing powers. The program is designed to let the children have fun and enjoy traditional camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, nature exploration and much more. In addition to experiencing these activities, there are small group sessions led by professional grief counselors designed to help the child. The program is made up of 90% regular camping activities and 10% structured group sessions. If you know a child who would benefit from this camp, please call for an application or download one from the homepage.
