Over 103 Years of Helping Girls Grow
Since 1923, WeHaKee has been a place where girls build confidence, form friendships that last a lifetime, and figure out who they are away from the noise of everyday life. Lots of things have changed over the years, but that feeling never will.
Where Girls Grow Wild, Strong, and Confident in Who They Are
Since 1923, WeHaKee has been a place where girls come to grow, both wild and wonderful. Generations have walked these same paths, formed lifelong friendships, and discovered a deeper sense of who they are. The setting has evolved, but the heart of WeHaKee has stayed the same: a community rooted in connection, tradition, and building confidence that lasts far beyond camp.
“There’s something about this place that helps girls believe in themselves, try things they never thought they could, and leave with confidence that stays with them for life”

Feel confident
sending her here
From trained staff and structured supervision to clear safety protocols, every detail is designed so girls can try new things, take healthy risks, and grow in a safe, supportive environment. We are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), a distinction earned by fewer than 20% of camps nationwide. ACA accreditation means an independent organization has verified that our programs meet more than 300 rigorous health, safety, and operational standards, so families can feel confident before their daughter ever sets foot on camp.
Our history
