The judges loved that “The most innovated thing about Camp Maksepetoon is that it hasn’t changed in 58 years.” It promotes a natural, back-to-nature approach to camping and gives campers the opportunity to escape from city life, slow down, enjoy time outdoors, hike, take canoe lessons, swim in the lake, take part in nature journaling, enjoy unscheduled forest time, and engage with the environment constantly in a variety of ways.
