CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Anokijig has been recognized for excellence in camping for 88 years. Founded in 1926, Anokijig has built a history and rich tradition of offering youth experiences that will last a lifetime.
Anokijig is a Native American word meaning "We Serve" but it is also synonymous with new friends, positive values, personal growth, great adventures, and outrageous fun. When you combine that with our dedication to offering campers an experience that emphasizes values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, you have a combination that can't be beat.
Camp Anokijig is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 16, for four days, one week, two weeks, or for up to nine weeks of summer fun. Join us for the traditional Resident Camp, or focus on a specialty camp program. Teens are welcome to challenge themselves with an off-site adventure trip.
Please visit our website for specific descriptions and details of our program offerings.
Our staff members are chosen for their understanding of young people and their ability to communicate with them on a positive level. Our camper-to-staff ratio is about four to one. Most of our staff are previous Anokijig campers, so they bring a perspective to their leadership role that is deeply enhanced by Anokijig's rich spirit and tradition. All staff attend an extensive training program prior to camp opening. Senior staff members carry certifications in First Aid and CPR for the Professional Rescuerer. Certified lifeguards are present for all swimming and boating activities. Medical staff live on site during the summer camp season. Local clinics and hospitals are 5-10 minutes away with quick EMS response.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: This position is open to those individuals who are fifteen years of age or older and until graduation from High School. Junior Staff members’ job responsibilities have two different phases. Junior Staff are assigned to camper groups. Under the direct supervision of Senior Staff, Junior Staff will work as a counselor in training and will be in direct contact with the campers. Camper group duties include sleeping in the tents, dining hall supervision, and general supervision in the day-to-day care for the campers.
The second phase of the responsibility is an assignment to a program area. Once again, under the supervision of a trained Senior Staff member, Junior Staff will assist in the teaching and supervision of the campers at the program areas. Program areas include: swimming, canoeing, paddlesports, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, horseback riding, arts & crafts, archery, riflery, nature, dance & drama, digital photography, woodworking, ukulele band, glee choir, and maintenance.
Benefits from the Junior Staff program include leadership training, program skill training, room and board, and the availability of a job reference, if desired, for future employment.
All Junior Staff members are required to complete an application with references and attend a week long staff training. We request that each Junior Staff member complete at least two camp weeks of service in addition to their training week. This is a volunteer position.
