Camp Overview 

We operate two individual camps with separate campuses, 1/2 mile apart, on beautiful Lake Balfour. Each camp has its own staff, facilities, and programs. Che-Na-Wah has a tradition that dates from 1923 and Baco from 1951. We offer the best of both worlds: separate activity programs for boy and girls to encourage optimum skills and leadership development, and also, many opportunities for co-ed socialization and friendship.
