Discover Camp Wakanda: Your Year-Round Adventure Awaits
As you plan your year ahead, remember the magic that awaits at Camp Wakanda. Nestled amidst 160 acres of pristine beauty and featuring a private lake, Camp Wakanda in Northern Michigan is more than just a summer camp—it's a transformative journey for all.
Owned and operated by Allen Park Presbyterian Church, Camp Wakanda welcomes everyone, regardless of church affiliation or financial background. We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone can experience the wonder of nature and the warmth of community.

"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.
