Another factor that sets Camp Wayne for Girls apart from other camps is our unique facilities. Every year we add something special to the camp. When campers return year after year, they always have something new to look forward to--to see and experience. Here are some examples:

Fresh Water Pool
One of our newest and most exciting additions is our fresh water pool, a unique concept in swimming and water sports. We've excavated our lake's shallow swimming area, creating a gentle slope to the depth of four feet, then we put down a double layer of geotextile fabric to keep that soft, silty lake bottom from stirring up. Next we installed the bottom: a pool-blue-colored non-slip vinyl decking which looks like a swimming pool when viewed through our crystal clear lake water. We also added water basketball and water polo goals, and four black lane lines with turn boards at both ends for lap and competitive swimming. This fresh water pool has everything--except eye-stinging and hair frizzing chlorine!

Dance and Cheerleading Dome
Our geodesic dome, dedicated to dance and cheerleading, soars over the tops of other camp buildings and covers a circular redwood deck. This beautiful structure provides shade from the sun and shelter from the rain, while its open sides let the summer breeze in to keep campers cool and comfortable. Finishing touches include a stage, full length studio mirrors, safety mats for stunting, skylights and a stereo sound system.

Gymnastics Pavilion
As graceful as our young gymnasts themselves, our eight pointed Pavilion sails above our 5200 square foot Gymnastics area. Situated close to the center of camp, our state of the art facility includes all the equipment necessary for campers to meet physical challenges they never thought attainable. The carpet spring floor area, trampoline, beams, bars and vault are all protected from the sun while allowing our campers to take in the fresh mountain air.

Nature Nook
Another one-of-a-kind facility is our Nature Nook--a rustic lakefront log cabin for instruction in camping, environmental education and nature arts. It's also equipped with a kitchen for baking and cooking classes and is conveniently located near our low and high ropes courses and fishing dock, which are all part of the nature program. Each bunk goes on two overnights-- younger campers start out at our authentic Tipi, while older campers pitch tents at our private campsites.

Adventure/Challenge Course
Overlooking our beautiful waterfront is our thrilling Adventure Course. Consisting of a Low Ropes Course designed for team building exercises, a High Ropes Course including a multi-vine traverse, giant swing, catwalk and zip line, and a three-sided 30 foot climbing wall, our campers are sure to be “challenged” often!

More Distinctive Places
Girls love to go to the MADD Workshop, which has ten different work areas for various art media including a photo darkroom and six potter's wheels. Campers also enjoy our scenic rollerblading path, which runs along the shorefront. Our log amphitheater, set in the waterfront hill, is a special gathering place for campfires and sing-alongs. The Gazebo and Swing are the campers' two favorite spots to hang out with friends while gazing out over our beautiful lake.
