About Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan:
Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan is located next to beautiful Spring lake in Ainsworth Wisconsin and is one of the most exemplary summer camps in the Midwest. For over 90 years, Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan has provided hands-on outdoor education and fun for Scouts from across the country.
Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan offers indoor dining to its campers, where Scouts have a special opportunity to get to know Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan camp staff and be entertained with song and merriment. This also allows more time for Scouts to pursue their interests without having to deal with meal preparation.
Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan provides many unique opportunities for Scouts in all of the program areas offered. Traditional Aquatics, Shooting Sports, Nature, Handicraft and Scoutcraft take on new meaning when participating in the camp’s exciting and focused programs. There is something at camp for Scouts of all ages. Join us at Camp Napowan for a truly exciting adventure of a lifetime.
THE HYBRID MERIT BADGE SCHEDULE SYSTEM
To serve the increasing number of campers and programs, Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan uses a combination of the Block Schedule and Hourly schedule systems. Coined as the Hybrid Schedule, it allows classes to get more in-depth and offer fun activities like field trips without disrupting the entire day’s schedule. The schedule also provides scouts more flexibility between working on Merit Badges and taking advantage of the many unique opportunities Ma-Ka-Ja- Wan offers. The Hybrid Schedule gives scouts more time to spend on doing activities around camp and less time walking around.
The Merit Badge Schedule, Daily Schedule, East and West Trailblazer Schedule, and Prerequisites and Costs can be found in the documents below. These documents are susceptible to change as needed, so check these documents periodically for the most recent version.
