Loading... Our mission is to help unlock the potential of our campers so they can be the best version of themselves. We don’t think it is enough to simply teach our boys how to swing a bat, get up on water-skis or shoot a bullseye. Campers today are capable of so much more and we want to help bring out the best in each of them. Behind our dynamic program is a set of core values that guides us. We promote personal development and teamwork so that the boy your son wants to be, will grow at Camp Menominee.
How your brackets doing? #CMHoops #CampIsFun #FunIsGood #MenomineeMarchMadness 🏀💚🤍
Hello Spring! Believe it or not, we’re going back to camp during this calendar season!!! 86 Days til Opening Day! 💚🤍
Watching March Madness reminds us that our return to the CM courts is closer than ever! 💚🤍🏀
One of our favorite days of the year when they change the color of the river and sky in honor of Green Nation! 💚
Hey Green Nation - Selection Sunday is almost here! So, that means it's time to sign up for all of our March Madness contests!!!
This year we have 3 ways to play and win prizes: one is a FREE CM contest, and 2 bracket challenges hosted by our scholarship funds.
#1 - Camp Menominee Free Pick 8 Contest
#2 - Nate Wasserman Camp Fund Bracket Challenge (For Charity and $)
#3 - Camp for All Kids Bracket Challenge (For Charity and $)
Camp's Pick 8 Contest:
We are back with the CM Pick 8 Challenge! We know you will have a lot of brackets to fill out, so we are going to mix it up again with a different type of contest - The Pick 8! Here's how it works…
1) Sign-Up here on the Run Your Pool website
2) When the brackets are released, select 8 NCAA tournament teams. It's that easy! Every win by one of your selected teams earns you points. The value of each win is equal to the seed of the team. For instance, if you choose a #11 seed you get 11 points every time they win. The goal is to accumulate the most points with your 8 selections. The strategy involves finding the lower-seeded teams capable of winning a game or two, and maybe sprinkling in some higher seeds that can make deeper tournament runs. Remember, 6 wins by a #1 seed equals the same amount of points as 1 win by a #6 seed.
Nate Wasserman Camp Fund Bracket Challenge…
Both of our camp scholarship funds are running bracket challenges this year. So please sign up for both and help send kids to camp:
Nate Wasserman Camp Fund Bracket Challenge:
Cost: $20 per entry.
Prize: Winner takes home $500 or 50% of the pot minus fees. The fund gets the remaining 50%.
Sign Up Here - you'll put your email address in and you will get notified when the brackets go live. After you fill out your bracket, there will be a link for payment.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of Camp Menominee’s cherished alumni, Zack Wagman, at the age of 60.
His impact on Camp Menominee and the Northwoods is immeasurable, and his legacy will endure forever.
Zack’s journey at camp began when he was just 12 years old. He progressed through the entire program, becoming a CIT, then a counselor, and ultimately one of the most influential figures in Camp Menominee history. As a counselor and associate director, his passion for camp life and dedication to our traditions shaped the experiences of countless campers.
The Wagman Way—his personal trail carved through the woods from his house near Cooper Lane to camp—stands as a testament to his adventurous spirit, whether on snowmobile, ATV, or dropping off his garbage in our dumpster.
Beyond his leadership and skill on the water, Zack had a gift for bringing joy to camp life. He and his close friend, Steve Klein, transformed Canteen into an event, creating Zack’s Candy Store, a beloved tradition that lives on in the hearts of those who experienced it. His friendships ran deep—he was the best of friends with our former owner Steve Kanefsky and a dear companion to so many in the Menominee community, including Jason. He adored Alan and Elaine Wasserman, as they did him. He stood up for Glenn and Dawn Klein at their wedding at camp.
Former colleague and associate director Andy “Hippo” Owens of Wales affectionately called Zack “the lovable rogue,” a title that perfectly captured his mischievous charm, larger-than-life personality, and unwavering kindness. His love for camp, his family, and the Northwoods was evident in everything he did.
Zack is survived by his beloved wife Suzanne, his sons Elias, Ethan, and Evan. His home and cherished retreat on Dam Lake remain as part of his enduring legacy.
Camp Menominee has lost a legend, but the mark Zack Wagman left behind will never fade. His spirit will always be felt in the laughter of campers, the thrill of a first successful water ski run, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship and love that define Camp Menominee.
We honor his memory. We will miss him dearly. Rest in peace, Zachary D. 💚🤍
