Camp Shaw-waw-nas-see is a private not-for-profit 501(c)(3). Camp Shaw was born out of generous donations in 1946 and will be celebrating 75 years of camping tradition in 2021 thanks to the continued gifts of many.

We have many needs right now, especially in light of COVID-19. Our priority is building restoration. We would really like to update our cabins to make them more comfortable and appealing to a new generation of campers in multiple seasons. Additionally, we need a couple new buildings to continue to make Camp Shaw more safe and more fun. Donations come in many forms and no donation is too small.

There are many families out there that are struggling and would really appreciate some help sending their children to camp. Perhaps you cannot donate enough funds to build a new cabin, but perhaps you could send a child to camp through a scholarship or partial scholarship and change a life! A great big Camp Shaw thanks to Richard Allan and State Farm Insurance for a generous donation and matching grant to provide scholarships for our campers. 

You can donate today by clicking on the Donate buttons on the Camp Shaw Supporters page, or contact our camp office if you are interested in learning more about our capital campaign or other needs at Camp Shaw-waw-nas-see!
