Camp Friendship

Camp Friendship, built on dreams over 50 years ago, provides a safe haven for kids to escape the problems of the world and experience the magic of a traditional camp. Founded by Chuck Ackenbom and still run by the Ackenbom family, the camp is a beacon of timeless traditions, kindness, and acceptance for all.

At Camp Friendship, each camper has the power to shape their own experience. They choose their favorite activities from a diverse list, creating a personalized morning schedule for the week. This autonomy empowers campers to explore their passions and embrace new challenges. In the afternoons, campers have the thrill of deciding between two activities each day, adding an element of surprise and spontaneity to their journey. This freedom of choice promotes independence and allows campers to forge meaningful connections with each other.

The camp's dedicated staff, carefully selected from around the world, acts as a guiding force for the campers. They provide support, encouragement, and a warm and fun atmosphere that feels like home. Surrounded by nature's beauty, campers embark on a journey of self-discovery, unplugged from the digital world, and fully present with each other. Camp Friendship is not just a place but a transformative experience that instills lifelong memories and friendships, making it a cherished destination for campers year after year.
