What we're all about...

Since our founding in 1933, Clearwater Camp for Girls has been committed to teaching girls and young women the value of confidence, courage, compassion, and community for the cultivation of a rich and meaningful life. Noting that girls have enough pressure and competition in their lives through school, sports, and peers, a summer at Clearwater becomes a special place where campers can try new things in a supportive environment without fear of failure.

Clearwater provides a well-rounded program of activities designed to help campers grow their self-confidence as they strive to achieve their personal best. Additionally, living together in a natural, rustic setting, our campers learn the value of being part of a community where they can develop important skills like problem-solving, creativity, flexibility, working with a variety of people, communications, and leadership skills.

Nestled into a 200-acre conservancy area in Minocqua, Wisconsin, Clearwater is lucky to be located on beautiful Tomahawk Lake (3,392 acres), providing an incredible backdrop for a summer where your daughter will develop a healthy sense of independence, stretch herself in new ways, and gain friends for a lifetime.
