We’re 100% Camp. Nothing Artificial.

Camp Baco for Boys and Camp Che-Na-Wah for Girls is camp at its purest. We're two separate camps built on a single tradition: the secret to a great camp is its people. We are a caring committed community that provides an abundance of opportunities to campers have fun, learn and grow in the most beautiful setting on earth.

We’re so excited to see everyone tonight on our Che-Na-Wah dining room zoom. 💙💛 Some reminders: 💙 This is a very large event for all of our current campers & staff, and also alumni. PLEASE listen to the counselors in charge. They will be dressed in pink 💕. They have an amazing set list of camp songs planned already 💙💛 They may be songs you don’t know, we have so many! Maybe you’ll learn something new! 💛💙💛💙 Zooms get loud!! But not as loud as the Che-Na-Wah dining room. Make sure everyone in your house knows what’s going on... you wouldn’t want them to think that you stole ALL the cookies from the cookie jar 😂🍪 Is anyone making a fake blue and gold banner for their backdrop today?! 💛💙
