If you are looking for a great experience for your child, I cannot recommend Camp Nawakwa enough.

Food is like any other summer camp food-does the trick.

We signed up for Science Explorers & he has enjoyed it so much that he asked to do a second week! It's all virtual, through Zoom, but a week before they send a box filled with all the items they'll need for the week. Each experiment is prelabeled, in its own bag, & only a very few items are needed from home (like scissors). The instructor is patient & engaging, ensuring the questions are answered and a break is given (it is a 2.5 hour "class"). While my son has needed some help here & there, it is very age appropriate for the group of children who signed up. I seriously recommend Science Explorers to anyone who child loves doing experiments!!

They also have 2 water slide areas--1 slide off the Olympic pool & 2 slides separate from pools w/their own splash pad. Lifeguards are attentive. Pools are clean (only occasional bits of grass floating on surface). They have a snack bar, but it closes much earlier than pool (2 hrs prior), so I've yet to sample it. Bathrooms & changing area are very small, because they're in a historic building--only 2 bathroom stalls & 1 shower stall & no separate changing area, just some wall hooks & benches in open area & only 1 sink. I do not believe they can alter that building. However, their snack bar is in a separate newer building. It'd be nice if they built a larger changing area w/more showers & bathroom stalls in separate building. Staff are always friendly & helpful. Great Senior rate & twilight rate! After a pool visit, you can walk across street & visit Children's Lake.
