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.
What is The Way? What makes a Menominee person a Menominee person? Why are these values important to us? Let's find out in the first episode of our new series! New episode every two weeks on Mondays! #1stepisodeout #menomineeway #campfam
Today we salute longtime legendary CM Caretaker Gene Fleck on his 90th Birthday! “Geno” was the first Menominee man maintaining camp AND being an active member of our camp family. His wonderful wife Rose was on staff for years, grandson Devin was a camper, their establishment “Flecks Meadow Inn” was the location of many after-hours fond memories for our staff and he set the stage for his successors like Craig and Joe to be huge participants in our camp’s community. Fill a Stein, Eugene! Many happy and healthy returns of the day! 💚🤍
The Northern Lights last night in Eagle River were rockin’ and rollin’! Talk about a Nature Break! Wow!!!
The final month of 2023 is ushered in by more Northwoods’ beauty on a beginning to freeze over Sand Lake. #NatureBreak 💚
#tbt CM Family Notes to Note...Let's start December in a Green Nation state of mind! Just a few reminders:
1. Gene Fleck's 90th Birthday is this Sunday, December 3rd!
2. The Happy Hour Event to benefit the Nate Wasserman Camp Fund is a week from today in Northbrook.
3. The latest Camp Camp podcasts with Steve Kanefsky and Ethan Weiss respectively are available now.
* Gene's address for birthday cards and the links to the Nate event and the podcasts are all available on camp’s Facebook pages.💯💚
Only 200 days to go for more of this! #CountdownToCamp #AlLewisField #TwilightLeague #CampIsFun #FunIsGood ⚾️💚
GIVING TUESDAY! Please visit https://bit.ly/3uyTTeb to donate to the Nate Wasserman Camp Fund. We sent over 10 kids to camp last summer, a new record that we are encouraged to top this year. We’ve had an incredible year with multiple events including the golf Campfire Invitational, Doc’s Run fundraiser, March Madness pool, and more to come including the Happy Hour at The Landmark Inn on 12/7 in Northbrook. Please donate what you can!
It’s beginning to look a lot like winter up North. On top of its seasonal beauty, it also signals we’re one step closer to summer and returning to the Shores of Sand Lake!
On this Thanksgiving, more than ever, we want to express how grateful we are for you and yours. Wishing everyone good health, love and a peaceful weekend. 💚
"For the Love of Camp" is not just a salutation for us. It is a way of life or as Steve would say, "eating, breathing and sleeping camp". For those who "bleed green", you are definitively going to want to listen to this very special Camp Cast. Jason is joined in Scottsdale by Steve Kanefsky, former camper, CIT, counselor, Associate Director, and of course Owner of Camp Menominee.
Steve opens up about his time as a camper and counselor, how he found Menominee and his journey to becoming the owner. Then Jason and Steve "go under the hood" to talk about what it's like owning camp, some things people don't know or see about the job, and share some stories about former counselors, campers and parents. Steve also tells of his proudest moments at camp, his most regretful moments, the Kawaga competition, and much more including a cameo by Adam Schrier and great story about Koz at the end. This one surely will call for a Part 2. ENJOY! (Link available on camp’s Facebook and Twitter pages)

The sunset view of the point from Pitlik’s was particularly spectacular this evening. BTW, sunset was at 4:24 this afternoon in Sugar Camp. 💚🤍
