About Camp esquagama
Camp Esquagama: A Place for Fun, Learning, and Growth
Camp Esquagama is a premier summer camp located in Gilbert, Minnesota. It offers a wide range of residential and day camp options for children aged 4-15 years old. The camp also has a Counselor Intern Leadership Program designed for 16-17 year olds who want to develop their leadership skills while having fun.
At Camp Esquagama, we believe that summer camps are more than just fun activities and games. They are opportunities for children to learn new skills, make new friends, and grow as individuals. Our programs are designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment where kids can explore their interests, challenge themselves, and build self-confidence.
Residential Camp Options
Our residential camps offer an immersive experience where kids can disconnect from technology and connect with nature. We have cabins that accommodate up to eight campers with two counselors per cabin. Each cabin has its own bathroom facilities.
Our programs include traditional camping activities such as hiking, swimming, canoeing/kayaking on Lake Esquagama (our private lake), archery lessons at our archery range or riflery lessons at our shooting range (for older kids), arts & crafts sessions in our craft center or pottery studio (for younger kids), team-building exercises on our ropes course or climbing wall (for older kids) among others.
We also offer specialty camps such as horseback riding lessons at our equestrian center or fishing trips on Lake Vermilion (a nearby lake). These specialty camps require additional fees but they provide unique experiences that your child will never forget!
Day Camp Options
If you live near Gilbert but don't want your child to stay overnight at the campsite then we have day-camp options available too! Our day-camp program runs from Monday through Friday from 9 am until 4 pm each day during the summer months of June, July, and August.
Our day-campers participate in the same activities as our residential campers but they go home at night. We provide lunch and snacks for all of our day-campers. Transportation to and from the campsite is not provided, so parents must drop off and pick up their children each day.
Counselor Intern Leadership Program
Our Counselor Intern Leadership Program is designed for 16-17 year olds who want to develop their leadership skills while having fun. This program provides an opportunity for teens to learn how to be responsible leaders while working with younger campers.
The program runs for four weeks during the summer months of June, July, and August. Participants receive training in leadership skills such as communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution among others. They also get hands-on experience working with younger campers under the guidance of experienced counselors.
