Founded by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin, Camp WeHaKee is based on universal Gospel values and Catholic social principles.  Camp staff and Sisters help each girl realize her uniqueness as an individual person while understanding and striving to reach her own potential. Living in community with girls from diverse religions, cultures, races and economic backgrounds, allows each girl to grow and develop in an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement.

Camp WeHaKee staff includes adults (college age and older) who are carefully screened and extensively trained. They bring to life the program and activities while ensuring that each camper feels welcome and at home. Many Dominican Sisters volunteer their time to work along side the directors and counselors to provide an enrichment not available elsewhere. This integration of enthusiasm and wisdom is what creates the excellence that is WeHaKee!

The camp is noted for a wide array of quality activities where each girl has an individual program based on her own choices. Camp WeHaKee campers will have fun, develop skills and make life-long friendships while thriving in a positive and supportive community.
