Red Arrow Camp is the camp that time forgot. Red Arrow offers a traditional, single-session summer camp experience for boys ages 7 to 16. Located on the beautiful shores of Trout Lake, Red Arrow’s program of challenge and adventure provides boys an unmatched opportunity to develop confidence and learn new skills while having the summer of their lives. The Red Arrow experience is truly like no other. Built on traditions started more than 90 years ago, Red Arrow is an escape from the craziness and stress in the modern-day lives of our boys. Televisions are replaced with pine trees, log cabins, sports fields, and canoes. Video games give way to real live adventures in the wilderness of the Northwoods. The call of the loons and the crackle of a campfire replace the noise of the city and the blare of an iPod. Laptops turn into ping pong paddles and iPads into pen and paper. Here at Red Arrow, boys become unplugged from the everyday routine, and tuned into the wonder of nature, the satisfaction of hard work, and the magic of enduring friendships.

Does your child love pretending or acting? Maybe they can’t wait to draw or paint. Perhaps singing and instruments make their heart soar. Or it could be their feet just can’t stop dancing. Of course, every child loves to make and eat delicious food.
Drama. Art. Music. Dance. Culinary Art.
Let your child learn and explore all of these in an art camp centered on the Savior, Jesus. Each day includes Bible lessons emphasizing his saving work for your child. It concludes with a grand finale on Thursday evening when your child helps us host for you an “Evening of the Arts” that will be fun for the whole family.

Each summer Camp Lakotah becomes home to hundreds of youth looking for a life-changing experience! Our Day Camp and Overnight Camp programs are unsurpassed in creating a safe, fun environment led by positive adult role models.
Unlike other day camps, we provide our campers with an overnight experience on a day camp schedule. Day campers experience many of the same activities and program experiences as their fellow overnight camp friends. During the morning hours campers choose their individual skill activities, while afternoons are spent participating in group activities. Energetic staff, weekly themes, and new friends will make this your child’s best week/s of the summer! Summer is a time for fun, friendships and new experiences.
Our traditional overnight camp program is perfect for the camper who wants to experience it all. Each day is filled with individual and group experiences that meet your child’s personal needs, while building a strong sense of community amongst the cabin. Campers have the opportunity to choose activities that interest them, such as swimming, fishing, archery, disc golf, target sports, and more!
