WeHaKee is a Place for Culture to Thrive
Since 1923, WeHaKee Camp for Girls continues today in the tradition of the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. The program at WeHaKee Camp for Girls is based on social justice principles and universal values. Each summer, our skilled camp staff helps each camper realize their uniqueness as an individual person while understanding and striving to reach their own potential.
Living among others from diverse religions, cultures, races, and economic backgrounds allows each camper to grow and develop in an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement. By immersing into a different culture, each camper will be able to turn their experience into tangible benefits throughout their life, including language development, a heightened culture awareness, and personal growth.
We strongly encourage and facilitate cross-cultural interactions among all campers, to ensure that each of them gets the best experience during their stay at WeHaKee. Campers of all faiths and spiritual backgrounds have always been welcome at WeHaKee Camp for Girls.
Located at the base of the pristine Chequamagon National Forest along the shores of Hunter Lake, WeHaKee Camp for Girls is noted for a wide array of quality activities where each camper creates their own individual program based on their choices.
WeHaKee Camp for Girls campers will develop skills and make life-long friendships while thriving in a positive and supportive community all while having GREAT FUN!
