Camp Wawenock Gives Girls Roots and Wings! Wawenock was founded in 1910 and has been continuously directed by professional educators who have created and maintained an intentional camp experience. From the very beginning, campers have been encouraged to become an active and caring member of a welcoming community, to build both activity and social skills, and to connect with this beautiful, natural setting. Camp's intentional culture was built on 10 Wawenock Spirit core values: Honesty, Thoughtfulness, Respect for Others, Cooperation, Effort and Initiative, Loyalty, Friendliness, Sportsmanship, Love of the Natural World and Tolerance. Generations of campers and staff have embraced and perpetuated these simple ideals while developing skills, having fun, and making incredible friendships along the way!
