Water Trampoline
One of the most fun activities at camp for many campers is the joy of jumping around on the water trampoline.
Fishing
Campers can drop their line in and try for the big one from the dock with our bamboo poles. We practice catch & release at camp.
Canoeing
Paddling across Lake Minnewashta is a fun & rewarding experience for all our campers.
We offer a special session that focuses more in-depth on canoeing for campers who want to really hone their canoe skills.
Crafts
Nature offers an abundance of materials to create useful and interesting crafts. Campers look at the natural world a little differently after learning how to make use of its materials.
Tenting
Campers ages 13-16 who choose to spend a Thursday overnight at camp get to experience a night in our tents.
Swimming
What is a summer without hours spent in a Minnesota lake? Every afternoon, campers get to go down to the lake and swim in the sandy-bottom area, as well as do other fun water activities.
We offer a special Lifeguard Skills session for campers ages 11-13 who are serious about swimming.
Campfires
A tradition going back to 1924, when Tanadoona first opened is the gathering around the campfire where campers reflect on the day and celebrate with s' mores.
Ropes Course
Climbing up the trees to the balancing log, campers learn the meaning of "balancing act."
Kayaking
Campers get to experience the fun of maneuvering around Lake Minnewashta in the ever popular kayaks.
Drama
Skits play a special role at camp. Campers are encouraged to explore all sides of their personalities through these interpretations of camp life.
Climbing Wall
Campers love to see how far they can climb on the 41-foot vertical wall.
Nature Walks
Tanadoona is located amidst acres of forest. It's a great chance for youth to explore the wonders of nature.

Arts
Being at camp can be an inspiring experience that brings to life new artistic talents for campers. We experiment with paint, clay, and plaster.
Field sports
Our big grassy field becomes bustling with sports like soccer, tag, & kickball during the summer.
Archery
Our archery range challenges campers to grow in patience, concentration, and strength.
