Description:

Rising out of the forest, Camp Tamakwa is a "children's village" - where campers live and play in a safe, creative, nurturing habitat - and where they are encouraged to do what they do best...be themselves.

Founded in 1936 by naturalist Lou Handler and celebrated canoeist Omer Stringer, Tamakwa is summer home to 280 boys and girls - ages 7 to 16 - and over 130 staff. Tamakwa is half American-half Canadian. Campers and staff come mostly from Detroit and Toronto, but also from California, Montreal, Chicago, New York, and everywhere in between.
