Camper Testimonials
“My time at camp was really fun. I learned how to conquer my fears, meet new friends. I conquered my fear of the rock wall and I even learned how to shoot a bow and arrow.”
- Sami, Age 13
“Camp Nawakwa is a huge memory that I will cherish forever! Everyone was so kind and helpful. I loved every activity there was such as rock climbing, drama, swimming, archery, and one of my favorites the CAMPFIRE!!!”
- Glory, Age 10
“We also did tons of things. My favorites were archery, arts and crafts, and the stuffed animal contest. We also had great counselors and teens watching us. The food we had tasted really good especially the cake. That was the best food I have ever tasted.”

Parent Testimonials
“This was the first camp I took my kids to. I was so surprised at how amazing it was!!! The staff is awesome, the food was WAY better than I could have expected, and the activities and cabins were perfect for camp. I absolutely cannot wait until next time!!”
- Megan C.
“This is the best camp my kids have ever been to!! They absolutely loved it, the staff was happy and energetic with kids leaving electronics and all the commotion of the Valley behind. This camp is a secluded Natural Amazing place. I was apprehensive to leave my kids for the first time on an away camp but the camp staff assured me my kids would have fun and boy they did... fishing, fire camps, archery, rock climbing, lake kayaking, hiking, swimming and just being around nature took my kids breath away. My son literally told me, ‘I never felt so peaceful like this week before’.”
- Lenny I.
“This summer was our very first experience with Camp Nawakwa. We originally met the director at the farmers market in Upland and was instantly interested in their program for our 8-year-old daughter. The informational application and approval process was quick and easy. Her first time away at summer camp, of course, we were every bit nervous. We drove our other three children up to drop her off and met the camp director again as well as the counselors who would be leading her specific group. I expressed my reservations and fears with her being gone for 6 days and we felt assured and comfortable driving away. We followed her journey daily on the Facebook page as they kept it active with photos during the kids' explorations. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time and we are so very grateful for the kindness shown to our family through this wonderful camp.”
- Jason C.
