Nestled among the trees along Corey Lake is Camp Wakeshma, a camp where traditions grow as deep as the roots of its trees and kids of all ages can cultivate an appreciation for nature, develop skills, and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

Compared to other camps around West Michigan, Camp Wakeshma is among the most inexpensive. Its grounds are not the most expansive, nor are its facilities the most luxurious. In fact, to give everybody the full summer camp experience Wakeshma has a ‘no phone’ rule to help campers and counselors experience the camp without distractions.

Yet, many families have been sending their kids for generations. What makes Camp Wakeshma so special to so many people? A celebration of new friends, campfires, sing-alongs, and countless opportunities for fun is what keeps campers coming back year after year.

With activities like human foosball, skit night and water carnival, there is plenty for campers with all sorts of interests to do. Classes taught by counselors such as fishing, air rifle, and sailing keep campers busy all week long, and free times in between classes allow for campers to take part in other activities around camp and meet other campers and counselors.
