Camp Wakanda
Camp Wakanda is in Northern Michigan on 160 pristine acres with a private lake. The camp is a state-licensed children’s camp owned and operated by Allen Park Presbyterian Church. After two long summers of not hearing children’s laughter echoing through the trees, the sound of the dinner bell, morning watch, kayaking on El Lake, campfires, polar bear swimming, and beautiful stars in the night sky - we are back! Growing up at Camp Wakanda is a part of the rich heritage of Allen Park Presbyterian Church. Join the Camp Wakanda Facebook Group. Sign up now for the summer camping season: CAMP WAKANDA

"So Fonda Wakanda"Music by Steve Ogdie
Lyrics: 2006 SHYC Winter Retreat There’s a place I wanna go today,
Not far but another world away It’s my home away from home Where I belong, I’m never alone There’s a spirit about the place When your soul’s worn down And you need some grace You can come and get away, Leave time behind, get away ‘Til then, we’re counting our days So Fonda Wakanda, And so we’ll take it back home |
Closing BenedictionMay the gate of Wakanda always be open,
May the sun always warm our day. May the stars always be above our heads. May the water always quench our thirst. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of God's hand. Amen. |
