About Us
Camp Sinawa is situated on 280 acres of land on Pigeon Lake near Valders, WI. The land was purchased and protected in 1920 for the sake of outdoor recreation and education opportunities for youth. Camp has a rich history of scouting. It is non-profit, non-sectarian and state licensed. The facilities we offer include a large dining hall with a fully stocked kitchen, shower house, dormitory and cabins for rent year round for your large group or your individual family. Much of the property is managed forest consisting of mixed deciduous forest at the northern edge of the Kettle Morraine. Activities available to the public include hiking, mountain biking, nature education and community events. Our cabin rental guests also have access to swimming, non-motorized boats, sledding and playground games.
Meet the Rangers
Eirik and Sara Nelson along with their adventurous children took management responsibilites as the Camp Sinawa Ranger family in May of 2019. They’re originally from the Milwaukee area, but spent a decade in the Pacific Northwest developing their sense of adventure and love of the outdoors. They spent the previous decade or so in Sheboygan raising their children, running a small family business, volunteering for various non-profits and serving on boards for various nonprofit organizations. They bring this passion and experience to Camp and intend to work together with the community to bring renewed excitement and excellence to this treasured piece of land.
