Camp Wekeela

[1][2] In 1922, Emma Graumann opened a camp for girls on the shores of Little Bear Pond called We-You-Wega.

[3] During the Summer of 1968 Camp Wekeela served as a training site for a group of Peace Corps Volunteers going to Ethiopia.

During free time an ever present game of soccer ensued with campers joining in on either side throughout the play.

[4] Scoblionko was offering eight-week sleepaway camp sessions by 2001, charging slightly above the industry average.

[4] Ephram Caflun became the next Assistant Director of Camp Wekeela, joined by his wife Lori.

The campus also includes a dining hall (for seating up to 400), a performing arts building with an indoor and outdoor stage and a gymnasium, and a new Lodge in 2022.

Camp Wekeela has abundant recreational facilities and scenic nature preserves spanning sixty plus acres right next to Little Bear Pond.

Some of these recreational facilities include horseback riding, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, hockey rink, lacrosse fields, beach volleyball court, climbing tower, natural rock climbing wall, zip-line, high and low ropes course, environmental sciences building, culinary arts building, gymnastics pavilion, photography studio, dance center, weight room, radio building, creative arts center, and a large waterfront for swimming, water-skiing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, fishing, and scuba diving.
