Welcome to another year of exciting summer camp options from the
Central Wisconsin Environmental Station (CWES). We have accomplished
40 successful years of summer camp experiences and are looking
forward to year 41. This year we will offer six traditional camps, three trips,
and four day camps. Due to the increased interest in camps for youth
ages 9-11, we will offer two “Everything Under the Sun” camps this year;
one in June and one in July. Children can sign up for both if they like!
(Ages 5-10)
Water Wonders All summer staff complete two weeks of training with us before camp
begins. Staff are trained in First Aid, CPR, outdoor skills, games and
waterfront procedures. Most are certified as lifeguards and all undergo
numerous background and reference checks before being hired. Our
year-round staff provide wonderful meals and clean, comfortable
accommodations. As a field station for the University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point College of Natural Resources, we maintain the
finest equipment for learning and recreation.
Earth Explorers
Devil’s Lake Adventure Trip
In addition to increased camp offerings for youth, we have also added to
our outpost site across the lake. Campers visiting Raccoon Run will enjoy
a new fire ring, food prepping area, and the opportunity to canoe on the
pond. Main camp has also found new improvements with a “gaga pit”
in the cabin loop for some afternoon fun and games.
