Camp Esquagama
Located on beautiful Lake Eshquagama the magnificent log lodges of Camp Esquagama hold more than 60 years of history within their walls. The camp's unique and historic lodge was built in 1935 with a $10,000 grant from Sears and Roebuck. More than 3,400 4-H members competed with nearly 300 counties representing 29 states to win the grant.
Built of virgin Norway pine logs the lodge measures 120 feet at its greatest length and 80 feet at its greatest width. Built and equipped at a cost of $45,000, today the camp is insured for $2 million.
The award winning main lodge features a double fireplace, large dining hall, stage, library, craft area and sleeping units. The camp is open to all children ages 6 to 16. Activities include archery, swimming, canoeing, basketball and volleyball.
