Friends of Camp Batawagama

Take a second and think about the magic of summer camp: the songs, outdoor adventures, campfires, friends, simpler times and lifelong lessons. Help us preserve that magic for generations to come.

The foundation of Camp Batawagama (Iron County Youth Camp) is strong, thanks to decades of support from Iron County. To make camp an even better place, the non-profit organization Friends of Camp Batawagama wants to enhance the infrastructure on the land between two waters.

By December 25, we would like 1,000 people to donate $25 to support the construction of a new bathroom building for our boy campers. The $25,000 will cover about one quarter of the projected cost, and it will be a great way to show larger donors the support Camp Batawagama has from generations of former campers, staff members, parents and fans.

Please support our group effort, and share this fundraiser link with others who understand the magic of a summer camp that fosters respect for the environment, the people around you and simpler times. For 25+ years, the Friends of Camp Batawagama have supported substantial improvements to the camp facilities, most notably Friends Hall. Help us celebrate our 25th Anniversary by making a donation to this campaign.

Camp's vision is to reuse the current boy camper bathroom as a staff bathroom facility. A new bathroom building will be constructed where the men's staff bathroom currently stands. Existing hookups can be reused. Current plans for the new camper bathroom call for it to have five sinks, five toilets, three urinals, an ADA compliant stall and eight individual showers with total privacy.

The mission of Friends of Camp Batawagama is to foster the preservation of programs and the environment at Camp Batawagama. Our vision is to take an active role by providing avenues of financial support and volunteerism to the camp.
