Camp Shawano


Join the adventure at Camp Shawano!

Set on the bluffs above the Kentucky River where Daniel Boone and his contemporaries often hunted, Camp Shawano is our camp in the heart of the Bluegrass.  146 acres of cedar and hardwood forest and a number of open meadows provide fine sites for outdoor games.  This camp offers a progression of camping opportunities from modern to primitive units and a 40 foot tall climbing tower with a zipline.
