If your session of interest is listed as full, please complete the application to be placed on the waitlist. No deposit will be charged if we do not have a spot for your camper. We have campers moving between sessions in the winter and spring, which allows us to open a session for those on the waitlist. The deposit will not be charged unless a spot opens and you would still like that spot.

Session Descriptions
Two-Week Sessions
Two-week sessions include the traditions of the Teams, Tap-Out, Day-Trips, Overnights and regular daily activity schedules. Each session culminates with an awards campfire and presentation of the shields and feathers.
Two-week sessions are for new and veteran campers.
Four-Week Sessions
The quintessential Mishawaka experience, the traditional Four-Week session includes all the elements of the Team Competition (Tap-Out, games, swim and track meets and Sabotage). For campers 12 and older, extended wilderness trips will be available. Younger campers enjoy a variety of shorter excursions.
Six-Week Sessions
By combining a Two and Four-Week Session, campers will have even more opportunities to explore new activities, deepen skills and friendships, and soak up all that Mishawaka has to offer. Extended trips are available during the Six-Week sessions.
Eight-Week Session
When nothing less than a full summer at Camp Mishawaka will do!

Only boys and girls of good moral character, eight years of age and over, may become campers at Mishawaka. The management reserves the right to dismiss anyone whose influence and/or conduct become obnoxious or in any way threatens the best interests of other campers. In such cases, camp tuition will not be refunded.

Deposit Policy
A deposit of $500.00-$1000.00 (depending on length of session), which is applied toward tuition, is due upon registration. The deposit is fully refundable until January 15.

A deposit to a spending account is recommended. Typical expenses vary according to a camper’s program, age and interests. A deposit of $75 per week is suggested and any balance remaining or balance due at the end of the season will be refunded or charged a few weeks after the camp session.
