CAMP WABENAKI MISSION
Make a Difference Today
Camp Wabenaki is a 501c3 non-profit organization that was established with the purpose of providing youth and their families a full range of recreational, multi-cultural, art, S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and other engaging activities.
OUR CORE MISSION IS TO PROMOTE THE PHYSICAL, EDUCATIONAL AND LIFE SKILLS NECESSARY TO EMPOWER CHILDREN FOR LEADERSHIP ROLES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND SUCCESS IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES.
The Camp Wabenaki motto is, "Because we have known the torment of thirst, we are digging a well for others to drink."
Our goal is to provide an outlet for children to experience life outside of the city limits. Camp Wabenaki is a place where one can learn, grow and experience harmony and tranquility while being a child, without fear or judgement. This is also a place where children can learn acceptance and tolerance by interacting with people of other nationalities and religions.
