Tanadoona is the perfect place for children to spend their summer. We are passionate about getting kids outside and creating a new community that they wouldn’t experience anywhere else. Here you can be yourself, learn alongside friends and caring adults, and have fun in the outdoors!
Each week of Day Camp is filled with a wide range of outdoor and nature-based activities that build character, ignite wonder and curiosity, and fill the woods with laughter. Zig-zag across Lake Minnewashta by canoe or kayak, take aim during archery in the woods, express your creative side through a variety of arts, become an outdoor survivalist and gather ’round the campfire. Adventure awaits at Tanadoona!
AGES: 5-14
- Tanadoona Day Camp offers campers the full range of camp activities.
- Premium Day Camps, where campers take a deeper look at one specific topic or activity and possibly turn a spark of interest into a full-fledged passion!
Plus, with easy check-in/out, Day Camp is convenient for parents and kids!

Summer Camp Availability + Waitlist
View available spots in our registration system. We encourage you to register for as many waitlists as you’d like at no cost. We often see a lot of waitlist movement and we will reach out if we can offer you a spot in your preferred session between now and summer.
Weekly themes create a fun, creative, and silly atmosphere showing up in all-camp games and activities.
