Camp Pow Wow Questions Camp Pow Wow Schedule
Please join us for a fun evening at beautiful Camp Pow Wow to meet the staff, get updated on the summer's exciting activities, and enjoy some delicious treats! Time: TBA We are also delighted to announce camp leadership for this very special summer, when Ms. Kristin Damato and Ms. Lauren Highum will co-direct Camp Pow Wow with excellence and enthusiasm. Kristin is currently serving as Program Support Coordinator at ARCh, and has experience as professional staff in an area group home, as well as serving as co-director for Camp Pow Wow last summer. Lauren is an ARCh Youth Team alumna and current nursing student who has spent 3 years as a counselor and instructor at Pow Wow, as well as, co-director last summer. They are hard at work assembling a dynamic and hard-working team of skilled veteran staff, as well as some fun new faces! This season promises to be our very best, with a gardening program, specialized equipment and resources for campers with sensory needs, and some great new theme weeks along with some exciting surprises. Of course, camp will still be chock-full of traditional favorites like swimming, fishing, sleeping overnight in tents, rowdy songs around the campfire, and moments our campers will treasure forever! Camp Pow Wow offers residential and day camp options for people of all ages and a variety of abilities. Campers make friends and develop new skills through experiences in swimming, fishing, canoeing, arts and crafts, recreation, music and nature. Theme weeks provide campers with the opportunity to explore science, the outdoors and the arts through visits by special guests and activities including horseback riding and fire safety training. As one of the first camps in the area established to serve people with disabilities, Camp Pow Wow remains committed to accommodating all needs; no one is turned away due to disability or financial circumstance. Since 1959, Camp Pow Wow has been providing outdoor recreational opportunities for adults and children with disabilities. Located in scenic Menomonee Park, Pow Wow gives campers a taste of the camp experience without going too far from home. In 1998, a lodge was built as the camps home base, providing us with a full service kitchen, bathrooms, nurse's office, and air conditioning to help cool off those hot summer days. Last year, 200 campers joined us for "fun in the sun" at Camp Pow Wow. If you or someone you know is interested in learning
more, please have them contact, Kristin Damato,
Camp Pow Wow Director at 262-542-9811, Ext. 10.
