Camp Wahanowin

Where campers are welcomed like family.

C

amp Wahanowin has been a
Michigan camping tradition since
1955. Wahanowin is conveniently
located just 90 minutes north of Toronto on
beautiful Lake Couchiching. Every camper
belongs, is included and has the opportu-
nity to lead and shine.
The family feeling instilled by the direc-

tors, Bruce and Patti Nashman, and trans-
ferred to all staff is felt by all campers and
is a fundamental principle of their camp-
ing philosophy.
An important aspect of the Wahanowin
experience is embracing Jewish values and
traditions. Wahanowin is not religious, but
Jewish content is a beautiful feature appre-

ciated by everyone. Shabbat dinner, fol-
tion, spirit is always high at camp and is
lowed by a service where campers sing and cultivated by several highlight programs,
